Problem with sed command
Hi,

I used sed command to replace õ character.
sed -n '1,$s/õ/o/gp' inputfile > outputfile

The problem is there are 5 records in input file and 2 records has that õ character. So after using the sed command, in output file Iam getting only those records which has character õ replaced by o. Is there any way that I can get all the records which has that character and which do not.

Example :

Input file:

tgh~thanksõ~for1
tgh~thanks~for1
tgh~welcomeõ~for1
tgh~welcome~for1
tgh~back~for1

Output file after sed command :

tgh~thankso~for1
tgh~welcomeo~for1

Desired output :

tgh~thankso~for1
tgh~thanks~for1
tgh~welcomeo~for1
tgh~welcome~for1
tgh~back~for1

Thanks in advance .

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
