Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SED - insert space at the beginning of line and multi replace command Post 302670787 by alister on Thursday 12th of July 2012 12:11:03 PM

Just put a space before the new text and it will be preserved (the bolded, red underscore is where the space would go):
Code:
sed '
/pattern1/ c\
_newtext1
/pattern2/ c\
_newtext2
' file

On an unrelated note, if you want to expand the value of a shell variable into the new text, you cannot use single quotes; you must use double quotes instead.
