Hi All,
I need your assistance, I would like to replace all lines beginning with the word "begin" with the below text:
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
How this is achievable using sed command line or sed script?
The below command will only replace the word "begin" but how to replace the complete line:
#sed s/^begin/text/ test.log
Thanks in advance.
Something like:
sed s/^begin.*/text/
Thanks for your quick reply but how about the first example i have highlighted? this is not achievable via command line, it needs sed script to do it. any ideas?
# cat infile
begin this is
this is ...................
that is.................
begin this is
# cat text
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
# sed "s/^begin.*/$(sed -e :a -e '$! s/$/\\n/;' -e 'N;s/\n//g' -e 'ta' text)/" infile
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
this is ...................
that is.................
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
# cat infile
begin this is

begin this is
# cat text
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
# sed "s/^begin.*/$(sed -e :a -e '$! s/$/\\n/;' -e 'N;s/\n//g' -e 'ta' text)/" infile
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
this is ...................

Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
Thanks a lot! it worked perfectly

sed -e :a -e '$! s/$/\\n/;' -e 'N;s/\n//g' -e 'ta' text
this command's result is
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B\nBoard Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
so we add to newline chr as text '\n' char because sed is expect '\n' char for write (in buffer's) 2.line to as our stdoutput newline. that's all

Sorry but this command is giving me an error:
#sed -e :a -e '$! s/$/\\n/;' -e 'N;s/\n//g' -e 'ta' header
Unrecognized command: $! s/$/\\n/;

Hi Dendany83,
Another option if the text you want to replace always contains 2 lines:
cat inputfile
begin this is
this is ...................
that is.................
begin this is
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
text1="Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B"
text2="Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr"
sed "s/^begin.*/$text1\n$text2/" inputfile
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
this is ...................
that is.................
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
Hope this helps,
Regards

It is giving an error:
Label too long: text1=" Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B "
#!/bin/sed -f
text1=" Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B "
text2="Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr "
text3="=============================================================================================="
s/^$/$text1\n$text2\n$text3/ 2.log
where 2.log is:
9a 60 36 60.0 60 0 0.0
96 60 35 58.3 55 0 0.0
92 60 60 100.0 60 60 100.0
8e 60 35 58.3 60 0 0.0
9a 60 19 31.6 60 0 0.0
96 60 20 33.3 54 0 0.0
92 60 60 100.0 60 60 100.0
8e 60 20 33.3 60 0 0.0
The idea is that i want to add this header in place of each blank line.

Hi Dendany83,
Maybe trying with awk:
awk '{
a=" Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B "
b="Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr "
c="=============================================================================================="
}
{print ($0~/^$/)?(a"\n"b"\n"c):$0}' 2.log
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
==============================================================================================
9a 60 36 60.0 60 0 0.0
96 60 35 58.3 55 0 0.0
92 60 60 100.0 60 60 100.0
8e 60 35 58.3 60 0 0.0
Device | IPMB0-A | IPMB0-B
Board Address |Sent SentErr %Errr |Sent SentErr %Errr
==============================================================================================
9a 60 19 31.6 60 0 0.0
96 60 20 33.3 54 0 0.0
92 60 60 100.0 60 60 100.0
8e 60 20 33.3 60 0 0.0
If 2.log file contains more than one consecutive blank line and you want to have the same output as abovecat -s before awk command.
cat -s 2.log | awk '< code >'
Hope this helps.
Regards
can you explain the command in details please?
