See the post #6.
The two lines approach works with any sed and any standard shell.
That works from the shell command line for sure.
But, I don't think the original poster wants to necessarily force a line break like that into his sequence of commands, when their are clearly alternatives:
For example, using perl:
Code:
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get properties of every login item'| perl -p -e 's/, name:/\nname:/g'
so it becomes:
Code:
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get properties of every login item'| sed 's/, name/\
name/g'
It's a matter of personal preference (goes without saying) and in this case, what is the preference of the original poster, 7adi, on macOS?
I know what my personal preference is (sed on Linux, gsed or perl on macOS ). But for the original poster, I have no idea what is their preference.

I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a set of variables that are numbered based on another variable (using eval) in a loop, and then call on it before the loop ends.
As an example I've written a script called question (The fist command is to show what is the contents of the... (2 Replies)
Hi all
Sorry for the basic question, but i am writing a shell script to get around a slightly flaky binary that ships with one of our servers. This particular utility randomly generates the correct information and could work first time or may work on the 12th or 100th attempt etc !.... (4 Replies)

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
