sed help...

[Coolmar]

Can you sed multiple strings in a file?
What I would like to do this the following:

sed s/this/that/g and(&) s/him/her/g file >newfile

Thanks,

Hi Sally:

# sed -e s/this/that/g -e s/him/her/g file > newfile

sed -e 's/this/that/g' -e 's/him/her/g' file >newfile

Sally,

This syntax:

sed 's/this/that/g; s/him/her/g' file > newfile

also works.
