Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I need a sed line that will find all lines that contain "<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">" and then replace the entire line (not just that one string) with "<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8223</int>". It doesn't necessarily have to use sed as long as it gets the job done

Thanks

What about this?

sed 's/.*<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">.*/<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8223</int>/g'

Thanks for the quick reply. Tried that and got this error:

sed: 1: "s/.*<int key="NSWindowS ...": bad flag in substitute command: 'i'

sed 's/<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">/<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8223<\/int>/g' file

pcwiz: sorry, for the backslash... i thought you were wondering about the idea..

No errors, just one little problem with the new line. I tried it on a sample file I had. The original line used to be:

<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">31</int>

After I did what sudhamacs gave me the line turned into this:

<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">31</int>8223</int>

It should have turned out like this:

<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8223</int>

Any ideas?

Thanks

You should have mentioned the example before.

My sed script as shown above should do the job:

sed 's/.*<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">.*/<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8223<\/int>/g'
