sed sed is a program used for editing data. It stands for stream editor. Unlike ed, sed cannot be used interactively. However, its commands are similar. The general form of the sed command is sed command file where command is an ed-style command applied to each line of the specified file. If no file isspecified, standard input is assumed. As sed applies the indicated command to each line of the input,it writes the results to standard output.

$ cat intro The Unix operating system was pioneered by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in the late 1960s. One of the primary goals in the design of the Unix system was to create an environment that promoted efficient program development

Suppose that you want to change all occurrences of "Unix" in the text to "UNIX." This can be easily done in sed as follows: $ sed 's/Unix/UNIX/' intro Substitute Unix with UNIX The UNIX operating system was pioneered by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in the late 1960s. One of the primary goals in the design of the UNIX system was to create an environment that promoted efficient program development.

The sed command s/Unix/UNIX/ is applied to every line of intro. Whether or not the line gets changed by the command, it gets written to standard output all the same. Note that sed makes no changes to the original input file. To make the changes permanent, you must redirect the output from sed into a temporary file and then move the file back to the old one: $ sed 's/Unix/UNIX/' intro > temp Make the changes $ mv temp intro And now make them permanent

The -n Option We pointed out that sed always writes each line of input to standard output, whether or not it gets changed. Sometimes, however, you'll want to use sed just to extract some lines from a file. For such purposes, use the -n option. This option tells sed that you don't want it to print any lines unless explicitly told to do so. This is done with the p command. By specifying a line number or range of line numbers, you can use sed to selectively print lines of text. So, for example, to print just the first two lines from a file, the following could be used

$ sed -n '1,2p' intro Just print the first 2 lines The UNIX operating system was pioneered by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories If, instead of line numbers, you precede the p command with a string of characters enclosed in slashes, sed prints just those lines from standard input that contain those characters. The following example shows how sed can be used to display just the lines that contain a particular string: $ sed -n '/UNIX/p' intro Just print lines containing UNIX The UNIX operating system was pioneered by Ken the design of the UNIX system was to create an

Deleting Lines To delete entire lines of text, use the d command. By specifying a line number or range of numbers, you can delete specific lines from the input. In the following example, sed is used to delete the first two lines of text from intro: $ sed '1,2d' intro Delete lines 1 and 2 in the late 1960s. One of the primary goals in the design of the UNIX system was to create an environment that promoted efficient program development.

Remembering that by default sed writes all lines of the input to standard output, the remaining lines in text—that is, lines 3 through the end—simply get written to standard output. By preceding the d command with a string of text, you can use sed to delete all lines that contain that text. In the following example, sed is used to delete all lines of text containing the word UNIX: $ sed '/UNIX/d' intro Delete all lines containing UNIX Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in the late 1960s. One of the primary goals in environment that promoted efficient program development.
