sed command
Hi all! Need a little help on a sed command that I've used in the past, but I'd like to change it up a bit. Here is my script Code:
SearchVal = "RED"
ReplaceVal = "BLUE"
wrkFile = /u/tmp/file1
srcFile = /usr/temp/prodfile
sed "/${SearchVal}/s/^\(.\{101\}\).\{7\}/\1${ReplaceVal}/" $wrkFile > $srcFileWhat I'm looking to do is rather than using variables, I'd like to just perform the sed command without variables. Such as.... Code:
sed "/${RED}/s/^\(.\{101\}\).\{7\}/\1${BLUE}/" /u/tmp/file1 > /usr/temp/prodfileI've tried without the "$'s" but that didn't work? am I missing something?? Thanks! |

Yes you would need to leave out the curly brackets too, that belong to the shell variables. Try: Code:
sed "/RED/s/^\(.\{101\}\).\{7\}/\1BLUE/" |
