Search and Replace with Confirmation
Hi,
I have created a script which searches and replace the searched text from any file in directory.
I want to add a functionality where before replacing the text, script shows the line with the searched text and ask for user confirmation before replacing the text.
Can this be done using SED or any other command.
I have used SED for searching and replacing the text in my script.
Thanks
Abhinav
