Sed command over multiple lines in csh??

tuathan · #1 (**permalink**) 11-25-2008

hi i have a long sed command in a csh script that won't fit on 1 line.
how do i break it up correctly over multiple lines?

this doesn't seem to work in csh:

sed -e s/template/$IP.$NN/ \
-e s/NRG/6/ \
-e s/inputf/$IS.$NN/ \
-e s/SHIFT/10.0/ <template.egsinp > $IP.$NN.inp

i get:

sed: can't read : No such file or directory
./script1.sh: line 48: -e: command not found

many thanks for your help

i got this to work:

#!/bin/sh -f
rm -f sedtest.out
touch sedtest.out
sed -e s/s/S/ \
-e s/e/E/ \
-e s/d/D/ \
-e s/t/T/ \
-e s/e/E/ \
-e s/s/S/ \
-e s/t/T/ <sedtest.inp > sedtest.out
exit

including the -f flag
