Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Sed - Replacing numbers w/asteriks in random location in a file Post 7865 by devnul on Tuesday 2nd of October 2001 08:30:46 PM

Well, lets see a credit card is a 16-digit number in groups of 4 seperated by "-" or a " " character..

This is not the smallest way to do it, but I think it'd do the job:

sed 's/[0-9]\{4\}[- ][0-9]\{4\}[- ][0-9]\{4\}[- ][0-9]\{4\}/\*\*\*\*-\*\*\*\*-\*\*\*\*-\*\*\*\*/'

NAME
iswdigit - test for decimal digit wide character SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h> int iswdigit(wint_t wc); DESCRIPTION
The iswdigit() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isdigit(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "digit". The wide-character class "digit" is a subclass of the wide-character class "xdigit", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", of the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print". Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl". Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank". Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct". The wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "alpha" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "lower", "upper". The wide-character class "digit" always contains exactly the digits '0' to '9'. RETURN VALUE
The iswdigit() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "digit". Otherwise it returns zero. CONFORMING TO
C99. NOTES
The behavior of iswdigit() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. SEE ALSO
isdigit(3), iswctype(3) COLOPHON
