Time	Narration
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)omputers/w space computer_student.txt after the single quotes 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,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.
