I am a newbie to linux. Could you please help me with sed replacing?
eg: �tyo435flbv#a23892132� should end up as �tyo435LINUX�
need to replace anything after letter 'f'(including) with 'LINUX'
sed "s/f.*/LINUX/"
Awesome scott, such a simple one.Yeah, looks simple when you know it
And, if you happen to have this string in a shell variable instead of in a file, and you're using a standards conforming shell (such as bash or ksh), you could use:
x="tyo435flbv#a23892132"
printf "%s\n" "${x%%f*}LINUX"
which produces:
tyo435LINUX
