Does sed 's/object_type//' mean "Substitute object_type for nothing?
A quick look at my Linux in a nutshell seems to say that you substite
argument 1 for argument 2... and argument 2 is blank.
I don't have Linux in a Nutshell handy, but it's supposed to put 2
(nothing) in the place of 1 (object_type). In other words, the first
item is the target, and the second is the replacement. As the man page
page for sed puts it:
s/regexp/replacement/
Attempt to match regexp against the pattern space. If success‐
ful, replace that portion matched with replacement...
Also, why does it have to be in single quotes? Would this do nothing?...
sed s/object_type//
Have you tried it? ;) Actually it works fine without the single quotes
- until you try a target or replacement with spaces in it...
Cheers,
Vern
