You need an input file and output file for sed once you validate the output file you can overwrite the original file. The line you want to add contains single-quotes and even though you are escaping them you have to use double-quotes around the sed command. The last thing is you need to escape the '$' in front of the last 'j' if you want it to print literally in the file.
I know we can substitute a string using sed but how?
For example: sed 's/(old variable)/(new variable)/ details.dat
Am I suppose to put $old variable or whatever? Because I tried many times, it didnt work by putting $old variable. Am I suppose to enclose it with "" or ''?
Please help (3 Replies)

DtEditorFormat(library call) DtEditorFormat(library call)
NAME
DtEditorFormat -- format all or part of the contents of a DtEditor widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h>
DtEditorErrorCode DtEditorFormat(
Widget widget,
DtEditorFormatSettings *formatSettings,
unsigned int amountToFormat);
DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorFormat function formats all or part of the contents of the DtEditor widget according to the current text format settings in the
Format Settings dialog. These options specify which margins and alignments (left aligned, right aligned, justified or centered) are used.
Optionally, alternative settings can be passed as an argument to DtEditorFormat in a data structure. This function formats either the
paragraph containing the insertion cursor or the entire contents of the DtEditor widget, depending on the value of the amountToFormat argu-
ment.
The Format Settings dialog is displayed with DtEditorInvokeFormatDialog(3). For a complete description of formatting and the Format Set-
tings dialog, see DtEditor.
The widget argument specifies the editor widget ID.
The formatSettings argument specifies left margin value, right margin value and the justification style. The LeftMargin and RightMargin
fields of DtEditorFormatSettings must be zero or larger. The Alignment field can have a value of DtEDITOR_ALIGN_CENTER, DtEDI-
TOR_ALIGN_JUSTIFY, DtEDITOR_ALIGN_LEFT or DtEDITOR_ALIGN_RIGHT. If the formatSettings argument is NULL, DtEditorFormat uses the last format
settings specified in the Format Settings dialog.
When the amountToFormat argument is set to DtEDITOR_FORMAT_ALL, it reformats all the text in the edit window. When this argument is set to
DtEDITOR_PARAGRAPH, only the paragraph containing the insertion cursor is formatted.
For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).
For a complete definition of DtEditorFormatSettings, see Dt/Editor.h - DtEditor(5).
