Display slide 1	Welcome to this spoken tutorial on some more on sed.
Display slide 2 Learning objectives	In this tutorial we tutorial we will learn some more sed commands.
Display slide 3 System Requirement	To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Operating System and GNU BASH version 4.2.24(1) Please note, GNU bash version 4 or above is recommended to practice this tutorial.
Display slide 4 Prerequisites	As prerequisites You should know Basics of linux terminal. You should be aware of sed tool. For relevant tutorials please visit our website: http://spoken-tutorial.org
	The major use of sed is substitution. ie replacing some pattern in the input with something else.
Type cat seddemo.txt [enter] [ Point to the fourth and sixth line ]	Lets first look at the original file seddemo.txt
Type sed 's/[kK]umar/Roy/' seddemo.txt [enter]	Notice the word Kumar occurs two times in the fourth and once in the sixth line. If you want to replace all occurrences of the ‘kumar’ with ‘Roy’ Type sed space 's/[kK]umar/Roy/' space seddemo.txt Press Enter
Show the output Show the file cat seddemo.txt [point to 4th line of both output and file]	Notice the fourth line. Only the first occurrence of kumar is changed to Roy, not the second one. Sixth line had one occurrence of the word kumar and this is replaced now. So, we see only the first entry of the lines has been changed. This is because, by default, the first matched entry of any line is substituted. To substitute all the matched entries we need to use the flag g
Type sed 's/[kK]umar/Roy/g' seddemo.txt [enter]	Type sed space 's/[kK]umar/Roy/g' space seddemo.txt And press Enter Now, both entries of the fourth line are replaced. We can make multiple substitutions in one go as well.
	Say we want to replace the words electronics with the word electrical And civil with metallurgy in the file seddemo.txt
Type sed -e 's/electronics/electrical/g’ -e ‘s/civil/metallurgy/g' seddemo.txt [enter]	Type: sed space -e ‘s/electronics/electrical/g’ -e ‘s/civil/metallurgy/g’ space seddemo.txt And press Enter.
Type sed '/Anirban/s/computers/mathematics/' seddemo.txt [enter]	Now we want to change the stream of Anirban from computers to mathematics. In such case we would need to type: sed space '/Anirban/s/computers/mathematics/g' space seddemo.txt Press Enter.
[highlight text inside single quotes] [highlight ‘Anirban’] [highlight ‘s’] [highlight ‘computers’] [highlight ‘mathematics’]	Let us understand what this is. First we write sed then in single quotes we write the pattern to be matched. This is Anirban, now after the slash comes the operation. This is s that stands for substitution as we have already seen. Then we mention the pattern to be replaced which is computers Then the new word that would be substituted which is mathematics.
	We can also use sed to add , or delete lines in the file. Say we want to select those lines which do not have stream as electronics.
Type sed '/electronics/d' seddemo.txt > nonelectronics.txt [enter]	For that we have the d flag. We would type: sed space (in single quotes) (front slash) /electronics/d space seddemo.txt space greater than sign space nonelectronics.txt Press Enter
cat nonelectronics.txt [enter]	To see the contents type: cat space nonelectronics.txt and press enter.
Type sed '1i Student Information' seddemo.txt [enter]	Say at the start of the file we want to add a line Student Information. For that we have the i action. We need to type: sed space in single quotes 1i space Student Information' seddemo.txt And press Enter.
	Infact we can enter multiple lines like this. Say we want to add the two lines we would do it in a similar way. Along with student information we also want to add academics in the next year.
Type sed '1i Student Information\n2011' seddemo.txt [enter]	So in that case we would write sed space in single quotes 1i space Student Information\n2011' seddemo.txt Press Enter Notice \n between the string ‘Information’ and ‘2011’. \n prints 2011 in the next line after ‘Student Information’
	This brings me to the end of this tutorial.
Summary	Let us summarize, In this tutorial we learnt, Substitution Replacement Insertion
