Hi I was wondering if anyone new of a solution to this problem? I need to copy a time stamp that is on a line of .text in a text file into multiple positions on the same line.
I need to insert the time stamp on the same line between every occurance of the text ".pdf_.html" right after the underscore and before the ".html"
I've tried using sed and the \1 function without much luck.
I would be very thankful if anyone was able to provide a solution.
Below is an example of the code I'm trying to use.
What this sed script does is find the one occurrence of the time stamp on the line and inserts
".pdf_.html" around it, which is sort of what I had intended but not quit, I actualy need the time stamp to be inserted between every occurance of ".pdf_.html" after the underscore and before the .html
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

Hello. I'm trying to insert text in various positions and I could only do that using pipes for each position.

Hi,
I use sed to insert text at beginning of a file. But sed inserts a newline after my text that I do not need. For example, I want to insert "foo" at the beginning of my file:
> cat myfile
This is first line.
> sed -i '1i\foo' myfile
> cat myfile
foo
This is first line.

sed '1r file.txt' <source.txt >desti.txt
This example will insert 'file.txt' between line 1 and 2 of source.txt.
sed '0r file.txt' <source.txt >desti.txt
gives an error message.
Does anyone know how 'sed' can insert 'file.txt' before the first line of source.txt? (18 Replies)

NWBPSET(1) nwbpset NWBPSET(1)NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value
SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by
the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with
'nwbpvalues -c'. See util/nwbpsecurity for an example.
As another example, look at the following command line:
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |
sed '2s/.*/ME/'|
sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'|
nwbpset
With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object
'me'.
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |
sed '9s/.*/ff/'|
nwbpset
This command disables the user object me.
Feel free to contribute other examples!
nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS -h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
