Editing a file in a shell script
Using Solaris 8.
I need to create a shell script that will edit a text file. I need to look in the text file and do a search and replace. For instance, the text file name is always 'filename'. I need to open filename and replace every instance of 'oldtext' with 'newtext'. 'oldtext' is static. newtext is a variable that I will pass to the shell via the 'read' command further up in the script. I've got most of the script written....I can pass the variables and create directorys, copy files etc, but I don't know how to edit a text file in a shell. Thanks, |
