Code:

mybaddata&
mygooddata&amp

Now what i want is
Code:
soemdata&amp
mybaddata&amp
mygooddata&amp

and it can be
Code:
soemdata&
mybaddata&
mygooddata&apos

so i need either replace with amp or apos like this
Code:
soemdata&amp
mybaddata&amp
mygooddata&amp

OR
Code:
soemdata&apos
mybaddata&apos
mygooddata&amp


i guess this will make sense.
Code:
 
 # cat data
soemdata&
mybaddata&
mygooddata&amp

Code:
 
# sed 's/\&.*$/\&amp/' data
soemdata&amp
mybaddata&amp
mygooddata&amp

Code:
# cat data
soemdata&
mybaddata&
mygooddata&apos

Code:
# sed -e 's/\&.*/\&amp/' data
soemdata&amp
mybaddata&amp
mygooddata&amp

or
Code:
 
# sed -e 's/\&/\&apos/' -e 's/\&aposapos/\&amp/' data
soemdata&apos
mybaddata&apos
mygooddata&amp
