Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Using sed to change file into an awk script Post 303037933 by enforcer on Sunday 18th of August 2019 10:06:52 AM
Old 08-18-2019
Actually, my main issue is that I want to use part of the pattern 1 in pattern 2 in sed. Like so


-sagot this should change to /sagot$/{count++}
-sagot- this should change to /sagot/{count++}
sagot- should change to /^sagot/{count++}

so basically I need to change according to the position of '-' and use the word in pattern 1 without hard coding it treating as if it is a variable because I have to run this on a big file and cannot write all the combinations.
