| 00:01 | Welcome to this spoken tutorial on the sed - the stream editor. |
| 00:05 | In this tutorial we will learn usage of sed command. |
| 00:11 | We will do through some examples |
| 00:14 | To record this tutorial, |
| 00:16 | I am usingUbuntu Linux version 12.04 Operating System and GNU BASH version 4.2.24 |
| 00:26 | Please note, GNU bash version 4 or above is recommended to practice this tutorial. |
| 00:34 | As prerequisites |
| 00:36 | You should know Basics of linux terminal |
| 00:39 | For relevant tutorials please visit our website which as shown: http://spoken-tutorial.org |
| 00:45 | Let us with an introduction to sed |
| 00:48 | sed is a stream editor. |
| 00:51 | sed finds some pattern of text in a particular location of a file. |
| 00:58 | It performs some display or editing function |
| 01:02 | editing function like insertion, substitution and deletion in matched text. |
| 01:10 | Let us first start with some examples. |
| 01:13 | We will see how to print using the sed command. |
| 01:19 | I have a file called seddemo.txt in home directory version. |
| 01:24 | Let us view its content. |
| 01:26 | In this file we have some enteries like roll no, name, stream, marks, pass or fail and the stipend amount. |
| 01:39 | Now suppose we want to print the second line of the file. |
| 01:44 | For this we need to oepn the terminal by pressing
CTRL + ALT and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
| 01:53 | Now Type |
| 01:55 | sed space within single quotes ‘2p’ after the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 02:03 | Press Enter |
| 02:06 | Here 2 denotes the location which is the second line. |
| 02:11 | p denotes the action, which is printing(p). |
| 02:16 | Now Look at the output. |
| 02:18 | It shows the entire file but see that the second line is printed twice. |
| 02:25 | This is the default behaviour of the action p. |
| 02:29 | To only print the second line |
| 02:31 | Type |
| 02:33 | sed space -n space (Within single quotes) 2p after the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 02:44 | Press Enter. |
| 02:46 | We see only the second line as printed. |
| 02:51 | -n stands for ‘silent mode’ which will suppress all unnecessary output. |
| 02:58 | Then we give the location in the stream that we want to edit or display. |
| 03:03 | We want to select the second line. |
| 03:07 | p indicates the action we want to take ie to print the second line. |
| 03:12 | And seddemo.txt is the name of the file |
| 03:18 | This is the general syntax of sed command. |
| 03:21 | Now let us print the last line of the file. |
| 03:26 | Let me clear the promt |
| 03:29 | Now Type |
| 03:32 | sed space -n space within single quotes (dollar) $p after the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 03:42 | Press Enter. |
| 03:43 | We see that the last line is printed. |
| 03:49 | Now come back to text editor. |
| 03:51 | Suppose we want to print the enteries from 3rd to 6th |
| 03:57 | For this we need to type on the terminal: |
| 04:00 | sed space -n space within single quotes 3 (comma) ,6p’ space seddemo.txt |
| 04:14 | Press Enter. |
| 04:16 | The output is displayed from the third line to the sixth line. |
| 04:21 | Any of the actions can be reversed by using the exclamation mark before the action. |
| 04:28 | Say if we had to print all lines except from 3rd to 6th we will type:
sed space -n space within single quotes ‘3 (comma) ,6 (exclamation mark) !p |
| 04:44 | After the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 04:51 | Press Enter. |
| 04:53 | The output is displayed. |
| 04:56 | Let us switch back to our slides. |
| 04:58 | Line addressing and context addressing. |
| 05:03 | So far, we specified the lines in the file on which the action needs to be taken. |
| 05:09 | This is known as line addressing. |
| 05:12 | Address specified by the line numbers. |
| 05:15 | This is one way of addressing. |
| 05:18 | Another way of addressing is Context addressing |
| 05:22 | Lines that contain particular context say a particular word. |
| 05:28 | If we want to take actions on lines that contain a particular word we use context addressing. |
| 05:36 | Regular expressions can be used. |
| 05:39 | Let us see an example. |
| 05:42 | Come back to our editor. |
| 05:44 | Say we want to print those lines which have the word computers. |
| 05:50 | Come back to our temrinal. |
| 05:53 | Now Type |
| 05:54 | sed space -n space (within single quotes) (front slash)(opening square bracket) [cC] (Closing Square bracket) omputers/p after the single quotesspace seddemo.txt |
| 06:20 | Press Enter. |
| 06:23 | We see the lines with the word computers is displayed. |
| 06:28 | We write pattern within square brackets. |
| 06:31 | This is to match any one or both of the characters within square brackets. |
| 06:36 | When we need to match patterns the pattern needs to be typed between front slashes. |
| 06:43 | We can print it in file as well using the w option. |
| 06:50 | For this type: |
| 06:52 | sed space -n space (within single quotes) (front slash) (opening square bracket) [cC] (closing square bracket)Computers/w space computer_student.txt after the space seddemo.txt |
| 07:18 | Press Enter. |
| 07:21 | Now all the matching lines would be transferred to the file computer_student.txt. |
| 07:27 | Let us view the content of computer_student |
| 07:31 | Type cat space computer_student.txt |
| 07:38 | Press Enter. |
| 07:42 | We see the entries |
| 07:43 | We can also have patterns that we can write to different files. |
| 07:50 | Let us clear the promt |
| 07:52 | Type sed space -n space -e space (within single quotes) (front slash) ‘/electronics/w space electro.txt’ after the single quotes -e space (within single quotes) (front slash) ‘/civil/w space civil.txt’ after the single quote space seddemo.txt |
| 08:24 | Press Enter |
| 08:28 | Here -e is used to combine multiple methods |
| 08:34 | This would create two files electro.txt and civil.txt. |
| 08:41 | To see what they contain type: |
| 08:43 | cat space electro.txt |
| 08:49 | This will display the enteries with the word electronics.
|
| 08:54 | Let us see the content of civil file. |
| 08:58 | Type cat space civil.txt |
| 09:01 | press Enter |
| 09:03 | This will display the enteries having the word civil. |
| 09:08 | We will see some more set of commands in another tutorial. |
| 09:12 | I will use the same program. |
| 09:14 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
| 09:18 | Let us switch back to our slide |
| 09:20 | we will summarize, |
| 09:22 | In this tutorial we learnt, |
| 09:24 | sed. |
| 09:25 | To print using sed. |
| 09:26 | Line Addressing. |
| 09:27 | Context Addressing. |
| 09:30 | As an assignment, |
| 09:32 | Use the same text file seddemo.txt. |
| 09:35 | Try to print records from 6th to 12th line. |
