change part of a line with sed
Hi gurus,

I'd like to change this complete line on a file:
Code:
BAN_COMMAND="/etc/apf/apf -d $ATTACK_HOST {bfd.$MOD}"

to this one:
Code:
BAN_COMMAND="/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s $ATTACK_HOST -j DROP"

I've tried a lot without any successful . Smilie

thanks in advance
Israel.

Code:
sed 's/\/etc\/apf\/apf -d $ATTACK_HOST {bfd.$MOD}/\/sbin\/iptables -A INPUT -s $ATTACK_HOST -j DROP/g'

should be fine - however it's whole line change (not sure if you want to divide it to sections and then change/replace?)

Regards,
-Artur.
