Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Using sed for case insensitive search Post 302497368 by sbhuvana20 on Thursday 17th of February 2011 04:58:43 AM

But my search string might have a lengthy word too. It might be cumbersome to use all possibilities in the command.

Is there any other way to do this ?

---------- Post updated at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous update was at 04:19 AM ----------

Alternately I found this perl command, that can be used to do case insensitive find and replace. But below perl command does not seem to be working if my search string has the "@" (at the rate) character in it.

perl -pe 's/prodops/productionoperations/i' test_file > test_file_temp
this works.


BUt if my search string is abc@def.com
and my replace string is xyz@jki.com, the following command is not working.


perl -pe 's/abc@def.com/xyz@jki.com/i' test_file > test_file_temp

can anyone help me how to use this perl command to replace some string with "@" character??

STG-IMPORT(1)							   StGit Manual 						     STG-IMPORT(1)

NAME
stg-import - Import a GNU diff file as a new patch SYNOPSIS
stg import [options] [<file>|<url>] DESCRIPTION
Create a new patch and apply the given GNU diff file (or the standard input). By default, the file name is used as the patch name but this can be overridden with the --name option. The patch can either be a normal file with the description at the top or it can have standard mail format, the Subject, From and Date headers being used for generating the patch information. The command can also read series and mbox files. If a patch does not apply cleanly, the failed diff is written to the .stgit-failed.patch file and an empty StGIT patch is added to the stack. The patch description has to be separated from the data with a --- line. OPTIONS
-m, --mail Import the patch from a standard e-mail file. -M, --mbox Import a series of patches from an mbox file. -s, --series Import a series of patches from a series file or a tar archive. -u, --url Import a patch from a URL. -n NAME, --name NAME Use NAME as the patch name. -p N, --strip N Remove N leading slashes from diff paths (default 1). -t, --stripname Strip numbering and extension from patch name. -i, --ignore Ignore the applied patches in the series. --replace Replace the unapplied patches in the series. -b BASE, --base BASE Use BASE instead of HEAD for file importing. --reject Leave the rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files. -e, --edit Invoke an editor for the patch description. -d, --showdiff Show the patch content in the editor buffer. -a "NAME <EMAIL>", --author "NAME <EMAIL>" Use "NAME <EMAIL>" as the author details. --authname AUTHNAME Use AUTHNAME as the author name. --authemail AUTHEMAIL Use AUTHEMAIL as the author e-mail. --authdate AUTHDATE Use AUTHDATE as the author date. --sign Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the patch. --ack Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the patch.
