Full Discussion: String replace that has spaces
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting String replace that has spaces Post 302611733 by methyl on Friday 23rd of March 2012 11:16:47 AM

In the "sed" in post #8 there is one too many space both sides of the replace.
If we correct the number of spaces in the "sed" it appears to work.
Code:
                        echo "Use SSL=             0;          REG_DWORD" | \
sed 's/Use SSL=             0/Use SSL=             0x1/g' 

./scriptname
Use SSL=             0x1;          REG_DWORD

c/f oribinal line
Code:
Use SSL=             0;          REG_DWORD


It will take a "sed" expert to replace the second occurrance (and subsequent?). Not really clear what is required without a better before and after example.

SSL_new(3SSL)                                                         OpenSSL                                                        SSL_new(3SSL)

NAME

       SSL_new - create a new SSL structure for a connection

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        SSL *SSL_new(SSL_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION

       SSL_new() creates a new SSL structure which is needed to hold the data for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure inherits the settings of
       the underlying context ctx: connection method (SSLv2/v3/TLSv1), options, verification settings, timeout settings.

RETURN VALUES

       The following return values can occur:

       NULL
           The creation of a new SSL structure failed. Check the error stack to find out the reason.

       Pointer to an SSL structure
           The return value points to an allocated SSL structure.
