Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Bash shell: Replace a text block by another Post 302752387 by RudiC on Monday 7th of January 2013 01:47:07 AM

I guess it's not that easy:
Code:
$ awk '{gsub("blablabla","another blabla")}1' file

We need some more info: will the new text block be supplied in another file? Is the text block to be replaced the entire function block or just parts thereof?
