Ok But I have another problem, I couldn't use any command interior of sed command. That's to say I have a script;
yy="file5" for i in `cat file1`; do sed -e 's/old1/new1\ \'$i'/g' -e 's/old2/'cut -d, -f 1 ${yy}'/g' file2 > file3 done When I run the script, I get an error, due to using cut command > Do you mean something like: > > sed -e 's/string1/replacement1/g' -e 's/string2/replacement2/g' > > or > > sed -f instructions.sed > > instructions.sed: > > s/string1/replacement1/g > s/string2/replacement2/g > > --Alex > > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
