How to search and replace a particular line in file with sed command
Hello,
I have a file and in that, I want to search for a aprticular word and then replace another word in the same line with something else.
Example: In file abc.txt, there is a line
<host oa_var="s_hostname">test</host>
I want to search with s_hostname text and then replace test with prod.
How do I achieve this with the sed or some other command.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
