Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have a xml text file with the following data, I would like replace F0</Number> to F</Number> only. i used sed to replace, but it not work!! anyone can help?

Code:

<Number>11 20 03 22 23 21 91 00 F0</Number>
<Number>12 20 03 20 99 21 91 20 F0</Number>
<Number>10 21 03 21 78 21 92 27 F0</Number>

sed 's/F0</Number>/F</Number>/g' $file

Thanks!!

Change the separator...

Code:

sed 's!F0</Number>!F</Number>!g' $file

its not work....(already run the sed command line no error). The result is the same..

Hi,

Instead of changing F0<Number> to F<Number>
you can do a a replacement of FO with F
sed 's/FO/F/g' file.xml

if thats is not the requirement then we should be careful while using special characters

Code:

>sed 's;F0</Number>;F</Number>;g' file
<Number>11 20 03 22 23 21 91 00 F</Number>
<Number>12 20 03 20 99 21 91 20 F</Number>
<Number>10 21 03 21 78 21 92 27 F</Number>

i am not sure...is it my file is xml format, the sed command not work.

sed 's;F0</Number>;F</Number>;g' file

if I used below, it work
sed 's; <Number>11 20 03 22 23 21 91 00 0F</Number>; <Number>11 20 03 22 23 21 91 00 F</Number>;g' file


Anyway, my file with more than 10,000 line and it waste time to manual to put the <number> information into the script.

any idea?

Based on the sample file posted, command was posted.

Could you please post the exact command you ran and the output that you got?

I had tested and then only posted, sure the command should work
