sed Command
Purpose
A stream editor.
Syntax
sed [ -n ] [ -u ] Script [ File ... ]
sed [ -n ] [ -u ] [ -e Script ] ... [ -f ScriptFile ] ... [ File ... ]
Description
The sed command modifies lines from the specified File parameter
according to an edit script and writes them to standard output. The sed
command includes many features for selecting lines to be modified and
making changes only to the selected lines.
The sed command uses two work spaces for holding the line being
modified: the pattern space, where the selected line is held; and the
hold space, where a line can be stored temporarily.
An edit script consists of individual subcommands, each one on a
separate line. The general form of sed subcommands is the following:
[address-range] function[modifiers]
The sed command processes each input File parameter by reading an input
line into a pattern space, applying all sed subcommands in sequence
whose addresses select that line, and writing the pattern space to
standard output. It then clears the pattern space and repeats this
process for each line specified in the input File parameter. Some of
the sed subcommands use a hold space to save all or part of the pattern
space for subsequent retrieval.
When a command includes an address (either a line number or a search
pattern), only the addressed line or lines are affected by the command.
Otherwise, the command is applied to all lines.
An address is either a decimal line number, a $ (dollar sign), which
addresses the last line of input, or a context address. A context
address is a regular expression similar to those used in the ed command
except for the following differences:
* You can select the character delimiter for patterns. The general
form of the expression is:
\?pattern?
where ? (question mark) is a selectable character delimiter. You
can select any character from the current locale except for the
space or new-line character. The \ (backslash) character is
required only for the first occurrence of the ? (question mark).
The default form for the pattern is the following:
/pattern/
A \ (backslash) character is not necessary.
* The \n sequence matches a new-line character in the pattern space,
except the terminating new-line character.
* A . (period) matches any character except a terminating new-line
character. That is, unlike the ed command, which cannot match a
new-line character in the middle of a line, the sed command can
match a new-line character in the pattern space.
Certain commands called addressed commands allow you to specify one
line or a range of lines to which the command should be applied. The
following rules apply to addressed commands:
* A command line without an address selects every line.
* A command line with one address, expressed in context form,
selects each line that matches the address.
* A command line with two addresses separated by commas selects the
entire range from the first line that matches the first address
through the next line that matches the second. (If the second
address is a number less than or equal to the line number first
selected, only one line is selected.) Thereafter, the process is
repeated, looking again for the first address.
Flags
Item
Description
-e Script
Uses the Script variable as the editing script. If you are using
just one -e flag and no -f flag, the -e flag can be omitted.
-f ScriptFile
Uses the ScriptFile variable as the source of the edit script. The
ScriptFile variable is a prepared set of editing commands applied
to the File parameter.
-n
Suppresses all information normally written to standard output.
-u
Displays the output in an unbuffered mode. When this flag is set,
the sed command displays the output instantaneously instead of
buffering the output. The default is buffered mode.
Note: You can specify multiple -e and -f flags. All subcommands
are added to the script in the order specified, regardless of
their origin.
sed Subcommands
The sed command contains the following sed script subcommands. The
number in parentheses preceding a subcommand indicates the maximum
number of permissible addresses for the subcommand.
Note:
1 The Text variable accompanying the a\, c\, and i\ subcommands can
continue onto more than one line, provided all lines but the last
end with a \ (backslash) to quote the new-line character.
Backslashes in text are treated like backslashes in the
replacement string of an s command and can be used to protect
initial blanks and tabs against the stripping that is done on
every script line. The RFile and WFile variables must end the
command line and must be preceded by exactly one blank. Each WFile
variable is created before processing begins.
2 The sed command can process up to 999 subcommands in a pattern
file.
Item
Description
(1) a\Text
Places the Text variable in output before reading the next input
line.
(2)b[label]
Branches to the : command bearing the label variable. If the label
variable is empty, it branches to the end of the script.
(2)c\Text
Deletes the pattern space. With 0 or 1 address or at the end of a
2-address range, places the Text variable in output and then
starts the next cycle.
(2)d
Deletes the pattern space and then starts the next cycle.
(2)D
Deletes the initial segment of the pattern space through the first
new-line character and then starts the next cycle.
(2)g
Replaces the contents of the pattern space with the contents of
the hold space.
(2)G
Appends the contents of the hold space to the pattern space.
(2)h
Replaces the contents of the hold space with the contents of the
pattern space.
(2)H
Appends the contents of the pattern space to the hold space.
(1)i\Text
Writes the Text variable to standard output before reading the
next line into the pattern space.
(2)l
Writes the pattern space to standard output showing nondisplayable
characters as 4-digit hexadecimal values. Long lines are folded.
(2)l
Writes the pattern space to standard output in a visually
unambiguous form. The characters \\\, \\a, \\b, \\f, \\r, \\t, and
\\v are written as the corresponding escape sequence. Non-
printable characters are written as 1 three-digit octal number
(with a preceding backslash character) for each byte in the
character (most significant byte first). This format is also used
for multibyte characters. This subcommand folds long lines. A
backslash followed by a new-line character indicates the point of
folding. Folding occurs at the 72nd column position. A $ (dollar
sign) marks the end of each line.
(2)n
Writes the pattern space to standard output if the default output
is not suppressed. It replaces the pattern space with the next
line of input.
(2)N
Appends the next line of input to the pattern space with an
embedded new-line character (the current line number changes). You
can use this to search for patterns that are split onto two lines.
(2)p
Writes the pattern space to standard output.
(2)P
Writes the initial segment of the pattern space through the first
new-line character to standard output.
(1)q
Branches to the end of the script. It does not start a new cycle.
(2)r RFile
Reads the contents of the RFile variable. It places contents in
output before reading the next input line.
(2)s/pattern/replacement/flags
Substitutes the replacement string for the first occurrence of the
pattern parameter in the pattern space. Any character that is
displayed after the s subcommand can substitute for the / (slash)
separator except for the space or new-line character.
See the "Pattern Matching" section of the ed command.
The value of the flags variable must be zero or more of:
g
Substitutes all non-overlapping instances of the pattern
parameter rather than just the first one.
n
Substitutes for the n-th occurrence only of the pattern
parameter.
p
Writes the pattern space to standard output if a
replacement was made.
w WFile
Writes the pattern space to the WFile variable if a
replacement was made. Appends the pattern space to the
WFile variable. If the WFile variable was not already
created by a previous write by this sed script, the sed
command creates it.
