Thanks for the feedback guys. In the end I discovered the following REALLY
helpful web page "Sed - An Introduction" at
http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html. As it says in th introduction, the
documentation for sed is poor, but it's a really powerful tool if you can
find out how to use it.

Here. Reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Should do what you want.
Don't forget to make it executable. Save to a file, e.g. "type_munger.py"
then:
chmod +x type_munger.py
then:
./type_munger.py < input_file.txt > output_file.txt
Your line terminators, whatever they are (\n or \r\n or \r) are

I've got several large files that require some repetitive multiline search and
replace operations, and I feel sure that sed can do this, but I can't figure
out how to do it.
The pattern I'm searching for in the input file is "Type=0x21" followed by
"Label=abcde" on the next line, where abcde is

I can't resist posting another couple of options. In sed, it's a one-liner:
$ sed -e 's/.*/&\n"&"\n[&]/' infile > outfile
It's also possible to read line-by-line in a shell script without

As part of the previously discussed renaming of the CLUG, perhaps we
need a slogan to go with the name...

No homework. :)
I'm doing some work with Google Adwords at the moment.
Google Adwords provides different search responses based on whether the
search terms have quotes or square brackets.
search term - will match any search terms containing either of these
words
"search term" - will match on

Assuming the input is your 'testin' file below, this will expand to:

The reason is the IFS variable setting.
The $(cat $1) statement expands to a whole series of things, sepa

Hey guys.
Can someone help me with a sed / bash script that takes an input file
and adds quotes and square brackets to the contents of each line,
outputting each variation to a new file?
i.e.:
Input file:
foo
bar
foo bar wizz bang
Output file:
foo
"foo"
[foo]
bar
"bar"
[bar]
does it have to be sed?
