Dear all,
I try to search " ( double quote ) in a file using vi editor,
I gave in the command mode
/"
it supposed to take to me to all the occurnces of " instead in some places it is taking me to different character.!
It happens with some other characters in that file....
can you please advice?
Thanks,
Shahnaz.
Use n for next occurrence and N for previous occurrence of term which you searched.
I searched using same.
it is workig in a simple file, no idea why it is not working in this file.
i tried it and it worked, but try this:
/\"
It didn't work, it give same result when I searched using /" and I don't see any difference in /\" and /"
and also I tried to replace " (double quote ) with space
sed 's/"/ /g' filename > newfile
I believe both the file size should be same but in my case newfile has less length...
Can you please let me know any thing needs to be changed ?
i can't reproduce this problem.
what "other characters"?
can you specify this a little?
