Need help on scripting

[Dewa Negara_4]

Hi All,

Please help on my scripting problem below. On my script, I want to replace all lines that contain a specific word to particular entry. For example, file1 contains :

flower rose red
fruit apple sweet
fruit orange sweet
fruit water melon not sweet

Want to replace all lines that contain fruit with word ' FRUIT NICE', so the target file will be as below:

flower rose red
FRUIT NICE
FRUIT NICE
FRUIT NICE

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Negara

sed /fruit/s/fruit/FRUIT\ NICE/g filename > filename.new

mv filename.new filename

Thanks, but it gave me this output.
# sed -e 's/fruit/FRUIT NICE/g' file1
flower rose red
FRUIT NICE apple sweet
FRUIT NICE orange sweet
FRUIT NICE water melon not sweet

It is now what I want. I want this output :

flower rose red
FRUIT NICE
FRUIT NICE
FRUIT NICE

Thanks.

Procura,

Thanks. It looks fine. But it is possible use a shell sctipt instead of perl?

Thanks.

# perl -pe's/.*\bfruit\b.*/FRUIT NICE/i' file1
flower rose red
FRUIT NICE
FRUIT NICE
FRUIT NICE

Try this

#sed -e '/^fruit/s/^.*$/FRUIT NICE/g'

OR
#sed -e '/fruit/s/^.*$/FRUIT NICE/g'

Hi,

this works also:
awk '/fruit/{print "FRUIT NICE";next}{print $0}' file
