Thank you sir, I am trying to find out how that exactly would look in my file (I am new to regexp so please forgive me). Heres what my file looks like:
cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 server-rack5-test-server-5 What I need it to change to (on a dynamic level, as in "server-rack5-test-server-5" will of course always be different"): cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 server-rack5-test-server-5.corp.company.com Could you help me with that?
