There are a couple of reasons why this does not work. First and foremost: since
your replacement text contains '/', you should use a text separator different
from '/' like
s#foo#bar#g
If I remember correctly < and > are also special (have to look that up) and you
should escape them: \< and \>.
Finally, this would only work on a consecutive text without newlines and I think
that is not what you have in mind.
Look up the c command in sed, because I think that is what you need. This lets
you replace a couple of lines with a couple of other lines.
OK, i have looked up the c command nd run this command:
sed -ic 's#<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Net Bible - Genesis </TITLE><LINK REL=Stylesheet
HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen></HEAD><body><p
class=title>#<?php require('../../wp-blog-header.php'); ?><?php get_header();
?><?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar1.php");?><div id="main"><div
id="content">#g' ./*
And this time, i do not get an error and i am left at the prompt. Then i check
1 of the files and nothing has been replaced. So, is my syntax for the c
command in sed right (sed -ic)? I tried sed -c and got an invalid --c option. I
wonder if some of the problem is that the <TITLE>Net Bible - Genesis </TITLE>
line is different for every file. In other words, for the book of Genesis, for
every chapter (every chapter is a new file), this line would read <TITLE>Net
Bible - Genesis - 50</TITLE> for chapter 50. I think i need something like a
wildcard to use here in the sed command. I just tried it without the <TITLE>Net
Bible - Genesis </TITLE> line in the sed command and it still does not replace
the text. I would be happy to send someone one of these htm files so you could
see what i am talking about.
