Hi guys,

I met a problem

"Noman is good, Norman is fun"

Use "Phil" to replace "Noman" and "Norman"
How to finish it using sed?

Thanks

I think

sed 's|/Phil/No*man/||g'

would do it.

Hi Victor:

# sed -e 's/Norman/Phil/g' -e 's/Noman/Phil/g'

Regards!

...JRF...

I guess I'll take that back. Can't make it work. Damn.

# cat f1
Noman is good, Norman is bad!

#sed -e 's/Norman/Phil/g' -e 's/Noman/Phil/g' f1 > f2

# cat f2
Phil is good, Phil is bad!

JFR's is good - or simply, using wild cards - u can resolve by doing this way.
sed -e 's/No[a-z]*/Phil/g'

Sorry - it was JRF instead.

Victor,
try:
echo "Noman is good. Norman is fun" | sed -e 's/Nor*man/Phil/g'

The r* tells sed to match 0 or more r's

HTH,
MIchael.

Thanks, Michael, that's what I was trying to come up with!

I think Vashikaran deserves 10, this is only the final touch:

sed -e 's/No[a-z]*an/Phil/g'

Pete Randall — Thu, 24 Jul 2003 14:09:23 GMT

Bernhard,

I think everyone but me deserves a 10!
