Thanks for your prompt reply and for the code. However, when I try it does
not do anything to the file I have. So I created a test document (in Pico!) which contained the following data:
and the sed routine did not modify to \\server_name\server_name as I would have expected.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,

If you have the gnu sed, you can use -i for update in place, but I would not: disk is cheap and mistakes are expensive, so make new files.

I tried to replace the following in vi:
old: 'e/thesis/pp/zones/zones'

Thanks in advance (3 Replies)

Hi,
I'm attempting to rename some files that have spaces in them. Without linking sed commands together is it possible to replace the first three "." to " ".
File.name.is.long.ext -> File name is long.ext
I can get the desired effect with
echo "File.name.is.long.ext" | sed 's/\./ /g;s/... (5 Replies)

While I do know some control characters need to be escaped, can normal characters also be escaped and still work the same way? Basically I do not know all control characters that have a special meaning, for example, ?, ., % have a meaning and have to be escaped... (11 Replies)

nwbpset
NWBPSET(1) nwbpset NWBPSET(1)NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value
SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by
the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with
'nwbpvalues -c'. See util/nwbpsecurity for an example.
As another example, look at the following command line:
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |
sed '2s/.*/ME/'|
sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'|
nwbpset
With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object
'me'.
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |
sed '9s/.*/ff/'|
nwbpset
This command disables the user object me.
Feel free to contribute other examples!
nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS -h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
