Replace / delete special symbols with sed

Since I changed the directory, I want to change all the environment variables in the file.

test.sh


../../${dir}/file1.txt
../../${dir}/file2.txt
../../${dir}/file3.txt
../../${dir}/file4.txt
../../${dir}/file5.txt

test.sh


../file1.txt
../file2.txt
../file3.txt
../file4.txt
../file5.txt

I want to do this

In other words ../${dir}/ When you want to delete the part of.

Successful ones are the following commands

python



sed -i s@'../${dir}/'@@g test.sh



** Explanation **

The syntax of sed that often appears when searching is as follows (This is the reason why I have more trouble)

python


sed 's/The string you want to replace/Character string after replacement/g'Input file name

g means replace all strings in the input file.


Add options

python


sed -i 's/The string you want to replace/Character string after replacement/g'Input file name

You can overwrite files without pipe & cat by using the -i option.

I failed many times this time, so I added ".org" after the -i option.

python


sed -i".org" 's/The string you want to replace/Character string after replacement/g'Input file name

This will create test.sh.org and make a backup.


Now, it is the replacement of the special symbol of the main subject. For the time being, I tried the following.

python


sed -i".org" 's/../${dir}///g' test.sh

sed: -e expression #1, char 13: unknown option to `s'

I get an error. The slash seems to be the problem.

Then, enclose the character string you want to replace with''.

python


sed -i".org" 's/'../${dir}/'//g' test.sh

sed: -e expression #1, char 7: unknown option to `s'

If you look it up, if there is a "/ (slash)" in the string It seems good to change the sed slash to a different symbol. I used "@" this time, but ":", "*", "#", etc. It seems that any symbol that is not used in the character string will do.

python


sed -i".org" 's@'../${dir}/'@@g' test.sh

I did not get an error, so when I check it with vi

test.sh


${difile1.txt
${difile2.txt
${difile3.txt
${difile4.txt
${difile5.txt

What's this···

test.sh.org


../../${dir}/file1.txt
../../${dir}/file2.txt
../../${dir}/file3.txt
../../${dir}/file4.txt
../../${dir}/file5.txt

I'm glad I had a backup.

mv test.sh.org test.sh

I tried various things, but not all

python


sed -i".org" "s@'../${dir}/'@@g" test.sh
sed -i".org" "s@../${dir}/@@g" test.sh

After some trial and error, it seems that the slash of the sed command itself is not needed.

python


sed -i".org" s@../${dir}/@@g test.sh

Is it that the character string is properly enclosed?

python


sed -i".org" s@'../${dir}/'@@g test.sh

Succeeded.
It was a case that I thought I had to think about the meaning of quotation marks.
