$ sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/website \1\.\2\.numbers.com/' -e '1i #!/bin/bash \n' a
#!/bin/bash

website 111111111.1.numbers.com

Hi Guru,

Yes. I should remove that other thread and maintain this one. Anyways, below is the response I'm getting...

Code:
$ sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/website \1\.\2\.numbers.com/' -e '1i #!/bin/bash \n' a
/bin/bash: Event not found.


Thanks again.

Hi
I think you are using csh or tcsh, and hence the exclamation(!) is creating this issue. Escape it with a backspace:

Code:
sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/website \1\.\2\.numbers.com/' -e '1i #\!/bin/bash \n' a

Hi Guru,

This is the error now as shown below.

Code:
sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/website \1\.\2\.numbers.com/' -e '1i #\!/bin/bash \n' a
sed: command garbled: 1i #!/bin/bash \n

Hi

Not sure why you are getting the error. Not able to reproduce the error in which ever shell I tried. An alternate:

Code:
sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/website \1\.\2\.numbers.com/' a | awk 'BEGIN{print "#!/bin/bash\n"}1'

Hi Guru,

This works for me provided that I need to used nawk instead of awk and escape the (!) because I'm on tcsh. Thanks so much dude! Smilie Smilie

Code:
sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/website \1\.\2\.numbers.com/' a | nawk 'BEGIN{print "#\!/bin/bash\n"}1'

A few candidates to consider:

1. The dot in replacement text is not special. You do not need to backslash-escape it in that context. Backslash-escaping non-special characters yields undefined sequences which can cause problems with some implementations (and opens the door to the remote possibility that a future extension to the standard will break current sed scripts).

2. The insert (i) command should be followed by backslash and newline, before the text to insert. (GNU sed supports text immediately after the command name but this is not portable.)

3. In a strictly compliant implementation, the \n escape sequence is only allowed in a regular expression evaluated against the pattern space. It is not allowed in replacement text nor in addresses. As with the \. sequence mentioned above, \n in in those contexts yields an undefined sequence (GNU sed will probably emit a newline). However, within the text argument to the insert (i) and append (a) commands, backslashes are stripped and the following character treated literally. \! becomes ! and \n becomes n (GNU sed instead chooses to emit a newline).

GNU sed developers may call these extensions, but they're more like incompatible deviations. Just a little one-liner and look at all the potential gotchas. What a headache!
