is it possible to use sed??

Type <Ctrl>-V <Enter> for the ^M:

sed s'/ | uid/^Muid/' file > newfile

Hi,

sed s'/ | uid/^Muid/' file > newfile ===> is not giving the output as my requirment..

If the input file contains "uid" then "uid" will start from a new line every time..

any other answer???

# sed 's/uid\
> uid/g' <file_name>
