I don't think I made myself clear. Let me give an example. Suppose the file I have is:
I want the sed command to replace only the first two instances of the string "test" with "found_it", i.e. the output should contain:
i.e. the string test should only be replaced with found_it if it occurs after a pipe or at the beginning of the line. I suppose this can be achieved with :
but shouldn't this be achievable using regex patterns too?
Hi, excuse me for my poor english.

How would you do vim copy line and paste at the beginning, middle, and end of another line. I know yy copies the whole line and p pastes the whole line, but on its own separate line.

Hi,
I have a specific requirement to add text at the beginning and end of a plain text file. I tried to use "sed" with '1i' and '$a' flags but these required two separate "sed" commands separated with "|".
I am looking for some command/option to join these two in single command parameter.

atf-test-program
ATF-TEST-PROGRAM(1) BSD General Commands Manual ATF-TEST-PROGRAM(1)NAME
atf-test-program -- common interface to ATF test programs
SYNOPSIS
atf-test-program [-r resfile] [-s srcdir] [-v var1=value1 [.. -v varN=valueN]] test_case
atf-test-program -l
DESCRIPTION
Test programs written using the ATF libraries all share a common user interface, which is what this manual page describes. NOTE: There is no
binary known as atf-test-program; what is described in this manual page is the command-line interface exposed by the atf-c, atf-c++ and
atf-sh bindings.
In the first synopsis form, the test program will execute the provided test case and print its results to the standard output, unless other-
wise stated by the -r flag. Optionally, the test case name can be suffixed by ':cleanup', in which case the cleanup routine of the test case
will be executed instead of the test case body; see atf-test-case(4). Note that the test case is executed without isolation, so it can and
probably will create and modify files in the current directory. To execute test cases in a controller manner, you need a runtime engine that
understands the ATF interface. The recommended runtime engine is kyua(1). You should only execute test cases by hand for debugging pur-
poses.
In the second synopsis form, the test program will list all available test cases alongside their meta-data properties in a format that is
machine parseable. This list is processed by kyua(1) to know how to execute the test cases of a given test program.
The following options are available:
-l Lists available test cases alongside a brief description for each of them.
-r resfile Specifies the file that will receive the test case result. If not specified, the test case prints its results to stdout. If
the result of a test case needs to be parsed by another program, you must use this option to redirect the result to a file
and then read the resulting file from the other program. Note: do not try to process the stdout of the test case because
your program may break in the future.
-s srcdir The path to the directory where the test program is located. This is needed in all cases, except when the test program is
being executed from the current directory. The test program will use this path to locate any helper data files or utilities.
-v var=value Sets the configuration variable var to the value value.
