Shell Programming and Scripting

Thank you so much guys!

I made an edit error, and I changed something the wrong way, in all 1500 pages. Now I need to edit it as follows,

(that is legally binding]] to (that is legally binding)

But I cannot simply do a replace /]]/) because then is replaces the much needed correct ]] as well,

So I need to change it only as follows

(*]] to (*)

Hi guys,

I want to use this

sed -e 's/[A-Z]/ &/g' -e 's/^ //g'

But now I only want do it for anything in between [[ and ]] as it otherwise messes with the href links.

-hold on-

- holding on -

I am not 100% sure what you are asking for but to change ( ... ]] to ( ... ) you can perhaps try this:

Code:

sed -e 's/\(([^])]*\)]]/\1)/g'

Code:

echo "[[ (that is legally ) binding]] (that is legally binding too]]"| sed -e 's/\(([^])]*\)]]/\1)/g'
[[ (that is legally ) binding]] (that is legally binding too)

As long as it is on the same line.

To only change for anything in between [[...]] seems rather complicated using sed..

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Ok so I run

sed -e 's/[A-Z]/ &/g' -e 's/[0-9].../ &/g' -e 's/^ //g' infile


But now it does so in the whole file, and I only need to do this between [[ and ]], how can I run this SED only between these [[]]
