I am very new to Unix and using sed so I'm struggling a little bit with this command and was hoping someone could help me out.
I want to find a nested pattern in a file and replace some text in that file with text from another file.
For example, in file one I have something like this:
Code:
def bikeModels(myBike = getBike())
if myBike == "Huffy":
return ["H1","H2","H3"]
elif myBike == "Mongoose":
return ["M1","M2","M3"]
***Blank line separates these two sections***
def bikeColors(myBike = getBike())
if myBike == "Huffy":
return ["Black","Blue"]
elif myBike == "Mongoose":
return ["Red","White"]
In my file two all I have is a new set of Huffy models:
Code:
return ["H4","H5","H6"]
which I want to put into file one, replacing what was originally being returned if myBike == "Huffy" under bikeModels to get a file that looks like this:
Code:
def bikeModels(myBike = getBike())
if myBike == "Huffy":
return ["H4","H5","H6"]
elif myBike == "Mongoose":
return ["M1","M2","M3"]
def bikeColors(myBike = getBike())
if myBike == "Huffy":
return ["Black","Blue"]
elif myBike == "Mongoose":
return ["Red","White"]
I can use sed to find the chunk of the file I want with a command like:
sed -n '/bikeModels/,/^$/ {myBike == "Huffy"/,/]/p}; file1
but I have no idea how to replace that text with the text from file two.
I did see I could use:
sed -e '/regex/{r insert.file' -e 'd;}' source
but, again, I have no idea how to combine everything I want to do and have it work.
Thanks to anyone that can help. Let me know if I need to go into more detail or explain anything better.
Thanks, it's close but it's replacing the Huffy information in both bikeModels and bikeColors. I just want to replace that information in whichever one I specify, in this case bikeModels. I've only used awk for very basic stuff but I'll play around with it for a little while and see if I have better luck than I have had with sed.
Sorry to bump this up but the hurricane meant I wasn't able to check the forums for a few days. Just wondering if anyone else maybe had some insight as to how to go about solving my problem whether it's through sed or awk. Thanks.
sed '/def bikeModels/ {
N
/Huffy/ {
H
n
/return/ {
x
r file2
d
}
}
}' file1
Thanks so much for replying everyone.
I'm trying to use this command as one line without much luck (I keep getting the message "sed: -e expression #1, char 22: extra characters after command" no matter how I try to reformat the command).
I am entering the command as one line as follows:
sed '/def bikeModels/ { N /Huffy/ { H n /return/ { x r file2 d} } }' file1
Like I said in my post, I am EXTREMELY new to this and kind of got thrown into having to write this command so I'm trying to figure things out on the fly. Should I be able to one line it like that or am I totally doing something wrong? I have tried to move things around/remove spaces in the command but keep getting the same message but with different locations i.e. character 27.
I have a file like below.

I'm using the following code to extract the lines(and redirect them to a txt file) after the pattern match. But the output is inclusive of the line with pattern match.
