That's certainly the kind of solution I am looking for. Unfortunately it doesn't quite do what I want, probably my fault for not taking a real file home with me.
I am back in work this morning and have just tried it against a real sample file -
So where I have single quoted strings inside brackets, I'm not losing the brackets.
This might be me, I had to change the outer quotes on your sed to " in order to get it to run -
Code:
sed ":start
/\[[^]]*\'\]/ {
s/\(\[[^]]*\)\'/\1/
b start
}
s/\[\([^]]*\)\]/\1/g" $File
Would you be kind enough to explain how the sed works? I am trying to get to grips with sed and would appreciate the insight.
Thanks for the help
The perl will get me out of trouble for now, but I'm not sure it is installed on all of our servers so would prefer a sed solution if possible for portability.

nwbpset
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
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.
