| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on More on sed. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn some More on sed commands, through some examples. |
| 00:13 | To record this tutorial, I am using |
| 00:15 | *Ubuntu Linux version 12.04 Operating System and |
| 00:20 | *GNU BASH version 4.2.24 |
| 00:24 | Please note, GNU Bash version 4 or above is recommended to practice this tutorial. |
| 00:32 | As prerequisites, |
| 00:34 | You should know basics of Linux terminal. |
| 00:37 | You should be aware of sed tool. |
| 00:40 | For relevant tutorials please visit our website which as shown: http://spoken-tutorial.org |
| 00:46 | The major use of sed is substitution. |
| 00:49 | Replacing some pattern in the input with something else. |
| 00:55 | Let's first look at the original file seddemo.txt |
| 01:01 | Notice the word Kumar occurs two times in the fourth line and once in the sixth line. |
| 01:10 | If you want to replace all occurrences of ‘Kumar’ with ‘Roy’ |
| 01:16 | Type on the terminal |
| 01:18 | sed space within single quote 's front slash / opening square bracket small k capital K closing square bracket umar slash Roy slash' after the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 01:40 | Press Enter. |
| 01:43 | Notice the fourth line. |
| 01:46 | Only the first occurrence of Kumar is changed to Roy, not the second one. |
| 01:52 | Sixth line had one occurrence of the word Kumar and this is replaced now. |
| 01:57 | So, we see only the first entry of the lines has been changed. |
| 02:03 | This is because, by default, the first matched entry of any line is substituted. |
| 02:11 | To substitute all the matched entries we need to use the flag g option. |
| 02:17 | Let me clear the prompt. |
| 02:20 | Type:
sed space within single quotes 's front slash opening square bracket small k capital K closing square bracket umar slash Roy slash g' after the single quote space seddemo.txt Press Enter |
| 02:43 | Now, both entries of the fourth line are replaced. |
| 02:48 | We can make multiple substitutions in one go as well. |
| 02:53 | Say we want to replace the words electronics with the word electrical |
| 02:58 | And civil with metallurgy in the file seddemo.txt |
| 03:04 | Let me clear the prompt |
| 03:07 | Type:
sed space hyphen e space within single quotes ‘s front slash electronics slash electrical slash g’ after the single quote space hyphen e space within single quotes ‘s front slash civil slash metallurgy slash g’ after the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 03:37 | And press Enter. |
| 03:39 | You can see that the words are replaced. |
| 03:43 | Now we want to change the stream of Anirban from computers to mathematics. |
| 03:49 | In such case we would need to type: |
| 03:54 | sed space within single quotes 'front slash Anirban slash s slash computers slash mathematics slash g' after the single quotes space seddemo.txt |
| 04:11 | Press Enter. |
| 04:14 | We see that the stream is changed. |
| 04:17 | Let us understand what this is. |
| 04:21 | First we write sed then in single quotes we write the pattern to be matched. |
| 04:28 | This is Anirban. |
| 04:30 | Now after the slash comes the operation. |
| 04:34 | This is s that stands for substitution, as we have already seen. |
| 04:41 | Then we mention the pattern to be replaced which is computers. |
| 04:47 | Then the new word that would be substituted, which is mathematics. |
| 04:53 | We can also use sed to add or delete lines in the file. |
| 05:00 | Say we want to select those lines which do not have stream as electronics. |
| 05:06 | For that, we have the d flag. |
| 05:10 | Type:
sed space within single quotes front slash electronics slash d after the single quotes space seddemo.txt space greater than sign space nonelectronics.txt |
| 05:31 | Press Enter. |
| 05:33 | To see the contents, type: cat space nonelectronics.txt |
| 05:43 | Say, at the start of the file we want to add a line Student Information. |
| 05:49 | For that we have the i action. |
| 05:54 | We need to type: sed space in single quotes '1i space Student Information' after the quote seddemo.txt |
| 06:10 | And press Enter. |
| 06:13 | You can see the output. |
| 06:15 | In fact, we can enter multiple lines like this. |
| 06:20 | Say, we want to add the two lines we would do it in a similar way. |
| 06:26 | Along with Student Information we also want to add academics in the next year. |
| 06:33 | So in that case we would write
sed space in single quotes 1i space Student Information slash n 2013' after the quotes seddemo.txt |
| 06:55 | Press Enter |
| 06:57 | Notice slash n between the string ‘Information’ and ‘2013’. |
| 07:05 | slash n prints 2013 in the next line after ‘Student Information’ |
| 07:12 | This brings me to the end of this tutorial. |
| 07:14 | Let us summarize, |
| 07:17 | In this tutorial we learnt, |
| 07:19 | Substitution |
| 07:20 | Replacement |
| 07:21 | And Insertion |
| 07:24 | As an assignment, Use the same text file seddemo.txt |
| 07:30 | And try to replace or substitute name Ankit with Ashish |
