I would like to replace "." with the value of pwd

so that the output will look like

/dev/project/00003/


t=`pwd`
sed -e "s/\./$t/g" tmp > tmp1;

The above piece of code is not working. Appreciate your help.



use this

set file name as command line arg

cat $1 | while read line
do
grep "./" $1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
rep=${line/.\//$PWD/}
echo $rep >>tmp1
else
echo $line >>tmp1
fi
done
exit 0

NAME
mlib_MatrixTranspose_U8, mlib_MatrixTranspose_U8C, mlib_MatrixTranspose_S8, mlib_MatrixTranspose_S8C, mlib_MatrixTranspose_S16, mlib_MatrixTranspose_S16C, mlib_MatrixTranspose_S32, mlib_MatrixTranspose_S32C - matrix transpose, in place SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ] #include <mlib.h> mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_U8(mlib_u8 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_U8C(mlib_u8 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_S8(mlib_s8 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_S8C(mlib_s8 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_S16(mlib_s16 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_S16C(mlib_s16 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_S32(mlib_s32 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); mlib_status mlib_MatrixTranspose_S32C(mlib_s32 *xz, mlib_s32 mn); DESCRIPTION
Each of these functions performs an in-place transpose of a square matrix. For real data, the following pseudo code applies: for (i = 1; i < mn; i++) { for (j = 0; j < i; i++) { tmp = xz[i*mn + j]; xz[i*mn + j] = xz[j*mn + i]; xz[j*mn + i] = tmp; } } For complex data, the following pseudo code applies: for (i = 1; i < mn; i++) { for (j = 0; j < i; i++) { tmp0 = xz[2*(i*mn + j)]; tmp1 = xz[2*(i*mn + j) + 1]; xz[2*(i*mn + j)] = xz[2*(j*mn + i)]; xz[2*(i*mn + j) + 1] = xz[2*(j*mn + i) + 1]; xz[2*(j*mn + i)] = tmp0; xz[2*(j*mn + i) + 1] = tmp1; } } PARAMETERS
Each of the functions takes the following arguments: xz Pointer to the source and destination matrix. mn Number of rows and columns in the matrix. RETURN VALUES
Each of the functions returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE. ATTRIBUTES
