Looking for a short way to summarise many sed commands
Hello,
I have a large number of sed commands that I execute one after the other, simply because I don't know if there's a shorter way to do it. I hope someone can help me save some time :-)
These are my commands:
1.) remove all " in the file:
2.) insert ( and space at the beginning of each line:
3.) insert " ) at the end of each line:
4.) insert blizzard_ at position 9:
5.) insert space and " at position 22:
6.) delete 5th and 6th character in each line:
Thanks a lot in advance,
Kat

Hello
I need to run some sed commands but it involves "/" in the substitute or delete, any ideas how I get round the problem.
Example:
cat file1.txt | sed -e '/</Header>/d' > file2.txt
This errors due to the forward slash before the Header text.

Hi,
I've a shell that uses two sed commands to tailor a file.
sed 's/ */ /g' | sed 's/%/%%/g'

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
