Expanding regex in quote
Hi Experts,

I'm trying to match and perform the substitution (below) but failed.

<File1>
Code:
Attributes = "SampleAttributes"
Attributes1 = "SampleAttributes1"

Command:
Code:
grep Attributes File1 | sed 's|Attributes\s=\s\"[A-Za-z]\"|Attributes = \"ReplaceAttributes\"|'

Any ideas? Smilie

Code:
echo 'Attributes = "SampleAttributes"
Attributes1 = "SampleAttributes1"'|sed -r 's/(")[a-zA-Z]*([0-9]*")/\1ReplaceAttributes\2/'
Attributes = "ReplaceAttributes"
Attributes1 = "ReplaceAttributes1"
