Hello, I have been browsing through the forum, but unable to find a solution for my requirement. I need to go through a file and search for Code:
/home/users and insert a # symbol at the start Code:
/home/users . Example output is Code:
#/home/users . Can you please help me with the awk or sed command for this.Thank you. |
