Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Problem getting sed to work with variables Post 303013796 by MadeInGermany on Wednesday 28th of February 2018 01:25:55 PM

Attention: sed uses RE, so any RE-special character or the / separator will cause a malfunction.
Is the goal to index all the duplicates?
Then consider this robust awk solution
Code:
awk '
  BEGIN { FS=OFS="\t" }
  NR==FNR { if (dup[$2]++==1) dup[$2]++; next }
  dup[$2]>1 { $2=("dup_" --dup[$2]-1 "_" $2) }
  { print }
' input input

With a trick the dup array discovers the duplicates AND and counts the index (backwards though).
