Hi All,
This took me an very frustrating hour to figure out. Especially
since I was looking for something like awk's "-F" command.
I hope this save someone else from pulling their hair out!
(I was trying to do a substitution with a ton of forward slashes
in it from a variable. AAAAHHHHH!!!!!)
-T
Example of substitute example:
$ echo "$(echo "TRUE" | sed -e 's/TRUE/FALSE/g')"
FALSE
"g" is for "global"
Example with variables (use full quotes):
$ X="abcd"
$ Y="xyz"
$ echo $X | sed -e "s/${X}/${Y}/"
xyz
If a variable uses a "/" inside it, use a different "delimiter" (the
first character after the "s" tells sed what the delimiter is):
$ X="./abcd"
$ Y="./xyz"
$ echo $X | sed -e "s|${X}|${Y}|"
./xyz
