in sed the substitute command can be written in many syntax:-

example:

Code:
sed 's/old pattern/new pattern/g'    #  g means substitute globally.

sed 's!old pattern!new pattern!g'   # same result as above

sed 's^old pattern^new pattern^g'    # also same result as above

sed '_old pattern _new pattern_g'  # also same result
