I was told a way to do this with awk earlier today but is there a way with sed to specify the last instance of a character on a line?
You will know what character you're looking for but there could be none or one hundred instances of it on a line say and you ONLY want to specify the last one for... (3 Replies)

Suppose you have a line like this:
cn=user.blr.ou=blr.india.o=company
The line should be converted like this:
cn=user.blr,ou=blr.india,o=comapny
Was wondering how to do that using shell script.
Please use tags where appropriate, thank you (4 Replies)
I Have a text file with several thousand lines of text.
Occasionally there will be a "sysAlive" line of text (every so often)

For example:
>cat file.txt

boolean(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation boolean(3pm)NAME
boolean - Boolean support for Perl
SYNOPSIS
use boolean;
do &always if true;
do &never if false;
do &maybe if boolean($value)->isTrue;
and:
use boolean ':all';
$guess = int(rand(2)) % 2 ? true : false;
do &something if isTrue($guess);
do &something_else if isFalse($guess);
and:
use boolean -truth;
die unless ref(42 == 42) eq 'boolean';
die unless ("foo" =~ /bar/) eq '0';
DESCRIPTION
Most programming languages have a native "Boolean" data type. Perl does not.
Perl has a simple and well known Truth System. The following scalar values are false:
$false1 = undef;
$false2 = 0;
$false3 = 0.0;
$false4 = '';
$false5 = '0';
Every other scalar value is true.
This module provides basic Boolean support, by defining two special objects: "true" and "false".
RATIONALE
When sharing data between programming languages, it is important to support the same group of basic types. In Perlish programming
languages, these types include: Hash, Array, String, Number, Null and Boolean. Perl lacks native Boolean support.
Data interchange modules like YAML and JSON can now "use boolean" to encode/decode/roundtrip Boolean values.
FUNCTIONS
This module defines the following functions:
true
This function returns a scalar value which will evaluate to true. The value is a singleton object, meaning there is only one "true"
value in a Perl process at any time. You can check to see whether the value is the "true" object with the isTrue function described
below.
false
This function returns a scalar value which will evaluate to false. The value is a singleton object, meaning there is only one "false"
value in a Perl process at any time. You can check to see whether the value is the "false" object with the isFalse function described
below.
boolean($scalar)
Casts the scalar value to a boolean value. If $scalar is true, it returns "boolean::true", otherwise it returns "boolean::false".
isTrue($scalar)
Returns "boolean::true" if the scalar passed to it is the "boolean::true" object. Returns "boolean::false" otherwise.
isFalse($scalar)
Returns "boolean::true" if the scalar passed to it is the "boolean::false" object. Returns "boolean::false" otherwise.
isBoolean($scalar)
Returns "boolean::true" if the scalar passed to it is the "boolean::true" or "boolean::false" object. Returns "boolean::false"
otherwise.
METHODS
Since true and false return objects, you can call methods on them.
$boolean->isTrue
Same as isTrue($boolean).
$boolean->isFalse
Same as isFalse($boolean).
USE OPTIONS
By default this module exports the "true", "false" and "boolean" functions.
The module also defines these export tags:
:all
Exports "true", "false", "boolean", "isTrue", "isFalse", "isBoolean"
-truth
You can specify the "-truth" option to override truth operators to return "boolean" values.
use boolean -truth;
print ref("hello" eq "world"), "
";
Prints:
boolean
"-truth" can be used with the other import options.
