Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Find & Replace with same case letters Post 302926198 by grep_me on Friday 21st of November 2014 06:23:50 PM

Hi Jim - Here is my OS:

Code:
$>uname -o
GNU/Linux

And I am trying to reduce my lines in my code, hoping that awk or sed has something to take care of case even for the replace code.

Don - it should change all occurrences of "text/TEXT" and change it to the appropriate "word/WORD". Mixed case is not in my file and would never be there, so it doesn't matter in case of mixed case.
its like global replace, but it has to take care of cases too:
text should be replaced with word
TEXT should be replace with WORD
TeXt should be replaced with WoRd (not critical)
find string and replace string will always have same number of characters.

Hope I am clear now.
