The sed command will return every line in file, with the desired one modified. If your want only that one line, make it sed -n '/.../p' file
But - didn't you want to zip back the files after modification?

Are you sure you want to output only those lines? How do you intent to change these in the original file and add it back in the zip archive?

Yes sorry! I didnt think about that. I first thought of using sed -i 's//g' file. But that is not possible.

I ran the command suggested by Subbeh and checked the file content this time. The desired line has the date replaced by the required one.


<j.1:Date_de_Publication_Periodique rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date">JJJJJJ</j.1:Date_de_Publication_Periodique>

So I will have to redirect the result to the file with the same name before zipping it.

Don't! redirect to a tmp file, and then rename that to the original file. Redirecting to the org file will clear that before trying to read it.

Yes, I did the same.

Thank you ! Smilie
