sed help/wildcard substitution
I need to perform the following substitutions and have been struggling to determine if or how I can do this with sed or perl.
I need to change the string foo(bar) to moo(bar,0) wherever this occurs in a file.
Is there a way to do this? I'm thinking there might be a wildcard of some sort that would do the following:
s/foo(*)/moo(*,0)/g
Thanks!
