sed

Shell Programming and Scripting

I need a sed/awk script to do the following:

echo 1 2 | script;
"values(1,2)" <= this is the output string.

Thanks in advance!

try this:

echo 1 2 | awk '{print "values("$1","$2")"}'

Sorry for redundancy, but how it can be done with sed?

echo 1 2 | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\) \([0-9]\+\)/values(\1,\2)/'

Hi,

Hope below one is useful for you!

echo "input"
read val
echo $val | sed 's/[0-9][0-9]* [0-9][0-9]*/values(&)/'

FreeBSD:

[echo 1 2 | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\) \([0-9]\+\)/values(\1,\2)/'

1 2
LinuxGentoo:

echo 1  2 | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\) \([0-9]\+\)/values(\1,\2)/'

values(1,2)

Hi,

I am working unix AIX and the output i got from sed is

WDT001$ echo 1 2 | sed 's/\([0-9]+\) \([0-9]+\)/values(\1,\2)/'
1 2
WDT001$ echo 1 2 | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\) \([0-9]\+\)/values(\1,\2)/'
1 2

'+' is not working for me.

Is there any other way to use + ????

Try:

echo 1  2 | sed -E 's/([0-9]+) ([0-9]+)/values(\1,\2)/'
9

I got this output:

echo 1 2 | sed -E 's/([0-9]+) ([0-9]+)/values(\1,\2)/'
sed: illegal option -- E
Usage: sed [-n] Script [File ...]
sed [-n] [-e Script] ... [-f Script_file] ... [File ...

i used

echo 1 2 |sed -e 's/\([0-9]\+\) \([0-9]\+\)/values(\1,\2)/'

and got the same output.. ->1 2
