I am trying to insert a single very long string as the first line of a file,
So the following sed commands does what I want;
Code:
sed '1i\"","a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"' file.txt
Think that all the letters contain some more complicated string elements.
This is not very nice and readable in bash script, so I tried to cut the string in multiple lines
just in script file to be able to read and change it easily.
I would like to write the script in such a way
Code:
sed '1i\"","a","b","c","d","e","f","g", \
"h","i","j","k","l","m","n", \
"o","p","q","r","s","t","u", \
"v","w","x","y","z"' file.txt
but putting \ throws the rest of the string to the next row.
I even tried as the following
Code:
ag="a","b","c","d","e","f","g",
hn="h","i","j","k","l","m","n",
ou="o","p","q","r","s","t","u",
vz="v","w","x","y","z"
sed '1i\"",$ag$hn$ou$vz' file.txt
