Ripat ,
This is not working too.

#sed '/OPSDM002/! s/CREATE VIEW \([^ ]\+\)/CREATE VIEW OPSDM002.\1/' dim_copy.20080516.sql
sed: /OPSDM002/! s/CREATE VIEW \([^ ]\+\)/CREATE VIEW OPSDM002.\1/ is not a recognized function.


Thanks

What sed version are you working with? It works fine on my GNU sed 4.1.5 and I don't have any other version to test on. Maybe somebody else?

Bah! Use 'awk':
Code:
awk '/^CREATE VIEW/ && !/OPSDM02/{$3="OPSDM02."$3};{print}' infile > outfile

It gets a bit more compliated if the string "CREATE VIEW" really needs to be case-insensitive. You'd need to make the regex [Ll][Ii][Kk][Ee] [Tt][Hh][Ii][Ss]. If the string is either ALL upper or ALL lower, then you can get away with using "/^CREATE VIEW/ || /^create view/".

The sed expression above is missing a forward-slash.

Or wait, no it's not. That DOES look right! Weird, nevermind. Maybe this version of sed uses "$1" instead of "\1"??

Thanks to others for their time too !
