What I want: Take file.txt and *strip* out "foo" and replace with "bar", *but* I don't want to redirect to a tmp file or anything: I would like one command.
Perl: 1. perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' file.txt SED, for example: 1. sed 's/foo/bar/g' file.txt > file.txt.tmp 2. mv file.txt.tmp file.txt So perl does what I want to, but I'd prefer to stay with awk, sed, or whatever GNU utils, if possible. Can it be done? Marco -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
