How to replace with "sed" some hex values by other hex values?
Assume I have a file \usr\home\\somedir\myfile123.txt
and I want to replace all occurencies of the two (concatenated) hex values x'AD' x'A0' bytwo other (concatenated) hex values x'20' x'6E'
How can I achieve this with the gnu sed tool?
Additional question: Is there a way to let sed show the number of replaced occurencies BEFORE or AFTER the run?
