Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting replace string in XML with sed Post 302183222 by reborg on Tuesday 8th of April 2008 02:33:42 PM

I am surprised it works anywhere, the command is garbled in at least one way. There are 4 / characters in your expression.

I'm not at a solaris box right now, but I'm pretty sure Solaris sed does not support [::] format expressions, so you would get more change from something like:

Code:
sed 's#<name>\([^<][^<]*\)</name>#<name>SOMETHING</name>#' file.xml
