sed: removing backticks from certain lines
Hi,

I would like to change some lines in my mysql-dump, because there a syntax problems with some version of mysql.

I 'd like to change

USE ´someDatabase´;

to

USE someDatabase;

(without backticks) using the sed command in the shell

Thanks & best regards

Bernd

hi,

you can use the below command if the backticks are used only here (`someDatabase`)

cat input_file1|sed "s/\`//g" >output_file

If the backticks are used in many fileds or columns means use the below command,

cat input_file1|sed "s/\`someDatabase\`/someDatabase/g" >output_file

thanks,

but I do not want to remove all ´ backticks, but only if it is in the folloing line

USE ´database´;

and I do not know the name of the database (which is between the backtick", so I would need a regEx and a reference back for it

so something like:

sed '/^USE ´(RegularExpression)´;/USE \reference;/g' mysql1.sql >mysql2.sql

best regards
