I need to use sed to replace first two octets with 212.15 if they match 192.168.
input="192.168.0.1 computer1.desktop"
input2="183.92.0.1 computer1.desktop"
# This should result in
# result="212.15.0.1 newcomputer1.desktop"
echo $input | sed -e 's/192.168/212.15/g' | sed -e 's/computer1/newcomputer1/g'
And this part works fine. My problem is that the second sed should only be run if first regex matches the first two octets. They could both be probably be combined into one expression.
Currently if I did this:
echo $input2 | | sed -e 's/192.168/212.15/g' | sed -e 's/computer1/newcomputer1/g'
# Then result wouldn't be accurate
# it would echo "183.92.0.1 newcomputer1.desktop"
Any advice is appreciated.
Following sed command should do the two replacements over lines matching /192.168/
sed -e '/192.168/ { s/192.168/212.15/g; s/computer1/newcomputer1/g; }'
note that . matches any character and to ensure 192 is the first octet ^ can be used to match start of line.
sed -e '/^192\.168/ { s/^192\.168/212.15/; s/computer1/newcomputer1/; }'

I have yet another list of subdomain. I want to remove any Wildcard subdomain which include these special characters:
()!&$#*+?
Mostly, the data are prefixly random. Also, could be middle. Here's some sample of output data

This has been quite an inconvenience while scanning through the list. As always, I'm trying sed to fix it:
sed -i "/[!()#$&?+]/d" foo.txt ###Didn't work
sed -i "/[\!\(\)\#\$\&\?\+]/d" ###Escaping char didn't work
Performing commands above still result in an unchanged list and the file still on original state. I'm thinking that; to fix this is to pipe series of sed command in order to remove it one by one:
cat foo.txt | sed -e "/!/d" -e "/#/d" -e "/\*/d" -e "/\$/d" -e "/(/d" -e "/)/d" -e "/+/d" -e "/\'/d" -e "/&/d" >> foo2.txt
cat foo.txt | sed -e "/\!/d" | sed -e "/\#/d" | sed -e "/\*/d" | sed -e "/\$/d" | sed -e "/\+/d" | sed -e "/\'/d" | sed -e "/\&/d" >> foo2.txt
If escaping all special char doesn't work, it must've been my false logic. Also tried with /g still doesn't increase my luck.
As a side note: I don't want - to be deleted as some valid subdomain can have - character:
line-apps.com
line-apps-beta.com
line-apps-rc.com
line-apps-dev.com
Any help would be cherished.
Using sed
$ sed '/[[:punct:]]/d' input_file
This should delete all lines with special characters, however, it would help if you provided sample data.
To do what you're trying to do in your answer (which adds [ and ] and more to the set of characters in your question) would be:
sed '/[][!?+,#$&*() ]/d'
or just:
grep -v '[][!?+,#$&*() ]'
Per POSIX to include ] in a bracket expression it must be the first character otherwise it indicates the end of the bracket expression.
Consider printing lines you want instead of deleting lines you do not want, though, e.g.:
grep '^[[:alnum:]_.-]$' file
to print lines that only contain letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, and/or periods.
I am running a linux bash script. From stout lines like: /gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1, I want to keep only the end of line after =.
I am struggling to understand why the following sed command is not working as I expect:
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | sed -e "s/^*=//"
(I also tried)
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | sed -e "s/^*\=//"
The return is always /gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1 and not MyTrack1
An even simpler way if this is the only structure you are concerned about:
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | cut -d = -f 2
Simply try:
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | sed 's/.*=//'
Solution 2nd: With another sed.
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | sed 's/\(.*=\)\(.*\)/\2/'
Explanation: As per OP's request adding explanation for this code here:
s: Means telling sed to do substitution operation.
\(.*=\): Creating first place in memory to keep this regex's value which tells sed to keep everything in 1st place of memory from starting to till = so text /gpx/trk/name= will be in 1 place.
\(.*\): Creating 2nd place in memory for sed telling it to keep everything now(after the match of 1st one, so this will start after =) and have value in it as MyTrack1
/\2/: Now telling sed to substitute complete line with only 2nd memory place holder which is MyTrack1
Solution 3rd: Or with awk considering that your Input_file is same as shown samples.
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | awk -F'=' '{print $2}'
Solution 4th: With awk's match.
echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | awk 'match($0,/=.*$/){print substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-1)}'
$ echo "/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | sed -e "s/^.*=//"
MyTrack1
The regular expression ^.*= matches anything up to and including the last = in the string.
Your regular expression ^*= would match the literal string *= at the start of a string, e.g.
$ echo "*=/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1" | sed -e "s/^*=//"
/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1
The * character in a regular expression usually modifies the immediately previous expression so that zero or more of it may be matched. When * occurs at the start of an expression on the other hand, it matches the character *.
Not to take you off the sed track, but this is easy with Bash alone:
$ echo "$s"
/gpx/trk/name=MyTrack1
$ echo "${s##*=}"
MyTrack1
The ##*= pattern removes the maximal pattern from the beginning of the string to the last =:
$ s="1=2=3=the rest"
$ echo "${s##*=}"
the rest
The equivalent in sed would be:
$ echo "$s" | sed -E 's/^.*=(.*)/\1/'
the rest
Where #*= would remove the minimal pattern:
$ echo "${s#*=}"
2=3=the rest
And in sed:
$ echo "$s" | sed -E 's/^[^=]*=(.*)/\1/'
2=3=the rest
Note the difference in * in Bash string functions vs a sed regex:
The * in Bash (in this context) is glob like - itself means 'any character'
The * in a regex refers to the previous pattern and for 'any character' you need .*
Bash has extensive string manipulation functions. You can read about Bash string patterns in BashFAQ.
How to use sed and regex to replace the text between a variable number of one token?
Example of input:
/abc/bcd/cde/
Expected output:
/../../../
Tried:
Command: echo "/abc/bcd/cde/" | sed 's/\/.*\//\/..\//g' output: /../
Using perl and look around assertions :
$ perl -pe 's|(?<=/)\w{3}(?=/)|..|g' file
/../../../
Using sed :
$ echo "/abc/bcd/cde/" | sed -E 's|[a-z]{3}|..|g'
/../../../
Replace every substring of non-slashes ([^/]\+) with two dots:
$> echo "/abc/bcd/cde/" | sed 's$[^/]\+$..$g'
# => /../../../
Base on #Gilles Quenot implementation but, capturing any alpha numeric chars between //
$ echo "/abddc/bcqsdd/cdde/" | sed -E 's|(/)?[^/]+/|\1../|g'
I just started using sed from doing regex. I wanted to extract XXXXXX from *****/XXXXXX> so I was following
sed -n "/^/*/(\S*\).>$/p"
If I do so I get following error
sed: 1: "/^//(\S).>$/p": invalid command code *
I am not sure what am I missing here.
Try:
$ echo '*****/XXXXXX>' | sed 's|.*/||; s|>.*||'
XXXXXX
The substitute command s|.*/|| removes everything up to the last / in the string. The substitute command s|>.*|| removes everything from the first > in the string that remains to the end of the line.
Or:
$ echo '*****/XXXXXX>' | sed -E 's|.*/(.*)>|\1|'
XXXXXX
The substitute command s|.*/(.*)>|\1| captures whatever is between the last / and the last > and saves it in group 1. That is then replaced with group 1, \1.
In my opinion awk performs better this task. Using -F you can use multiple delimiters such as "/" and ">":
echo "*****/XXXXXX>" | awk -F'/|>' '{print $1}'
Of course you could use sed, but it's more complicated to understand. First I'm removing the first part (delimited by "/") and after the second one (delimited by ">"):
echo "*****/XXXXXX>" | sed -e s/.*[/]// -e s/\>//
Both will bring the expected result: XXXXXX.
with grep if you have pcre option
$ echo '*****/XXXXXX>' | grep -oP '/\K[^>]+'
XXXXXX
/\K positive lookbehind / - not part of output
[^>]+ characters other than >
echo '*****/XXXXXX>' |sed 's/^.*\/\|>$//g'
XXXXXX
Start from start of the line, then proceed till lask / ALSO find > followed by EOL , if any of these found then replace it with blank.
So I have a bash script which is working perfectly except for one issue with sed.
full=$(echo $full | sed -e 's/\b'$first'\b/ /' -e 's/ / /g')
This would work great except there are instances where the variable $first is preceeded immediately by a period, not a blank space. In those instances, I do not want the variable removed.
Example:
full="apple.orange orange.banana apple.banana banana";first="banana"
full=$(echo $full | sed -e 's/\b'$first'\b/ /' -e 's/ / /g')
echo $first $full;
I want to only remove the whole word banana, and not make any change to orange.banana or apple.banana, so how can I get sed to ignore the dot as a delimiter?
You want "banana" that is preceded by beginning-of-string or a space, and followed by a space or end-of-string
$ sed -r 's/(^|[[:blank:]])'"$first"'([[:blank:]]|$)/ /g' <<< "$full"
apple.orange orange.banana apple.banana
Note the use of -r option (for bsd sed, use -E) that enables extended regular expressions -- allow us to omit a lot of backslashes.
