Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to search a string which is in between "" and replace it with another character Post 302394643 by Franklin52 on Friday 12th of February 2010 06:46:20 AM

To replace the word Unix between double quotes this should be sufficient:

Code:
sed 's/Unix/|/g' file > tempfile
mv tempfile file

If your sed version supports the -i option:

Code:
sed -i 's/Unix/|/g' file

To replace every word between double quotes you could use:

Code:
awk -F"\"" '{for(i=2;i<NF;i+=2){$i="|"}}1' OFS="\""  file > tempfile
mv tempfile file
