Commenting a specific line and inserting a new line after commented line.
Hello All, I have following file contents Code:
cat file #line=aaaaaa #line=bbbbbb #line=cccccc #line=dddddd line=eeeeee #comment=11111 #comment=22222 #comment=33333 #comment=44444 comment=55555 Testing script Good Luck! I would like to comment line Code:
line=eeeeee and insert a new line Code:
line=ffffff immediate after this. I wrote following command to comment my line: Code:
sed 's/\(^line=*\)/#\1/' manish And Google for inserting a new line and found following solution: Code:
sed '/^line=/ a\ line=ffffff' manish
Output should look like: Code:
cat file #line=aaaaaa #line=bbbbbb #line=cccccc #line=dddddd #line=eeeeee line=ffffff #comment=11111 #comment=22222 #comment=33333 #comment=44444 comment=55555 Testing script Good Luck! Thank you. Manish |

\n is not a standard sed feature in the replacement part of the substitute command. Try: Code:
sed 's/^line=.*/#&\ line=ffffff/' file Last edited by Scrutinizer; 12-17-2012 at 03:56 PM.. Reason: added trailing / |
