All
i am struggling to raplace some text in a line between two (closest) patterns ,
i want to replace "devuser,n1.9" with "NEWVAL", basically all teh text from "devuser" until nearest '/' with some new text.
i tried teh following
i am getting /home/usr/bin/:/home/usr/NEWVAL/bin"
where i am expecting
/home/usr/bin/:/home/usr/NEWVAL/bin:/home/usr/root/bin"
i know sed will match the longest possible pattern, i tried this as well
but still no luck
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm trying to find the nearest match between two columns of numbers, e.g.
1,1
10,8
30,50
20,100
and the search could be e.g. 20,20
returning 10,8 - i.e. 20-10 = 10 and 20-8 = 12 totalling 22, and hence being the nearest match.
any ideas?
thanks a lot, (1 Reply)
