Useful sed commands
Ignore until EOF
cat foo | sed "1,/^stringMatch/d" * Will ignore all before string match until EOF * stringMatch must be start of line (^)
Match all until EOF
cat foo | sed "/^stringMatch2/q" | grep -v "^stringMatch2" * will match ALL until match ( and remove match string LINE)
Strip pattern match
echo "192.168.15.58 172.17.0.1 123.10.130.201" | sed 's/172.[[:digit:]]\+.[[:digit:]]\+.[[:digit:]]\+//' 192.168.15.58 123.10.130.201
- Will strip out IP addresses beginning with 172.
Replace in file only when matching regex
This will only alter values if the first arg matches Nice for changing values in a script or ini
sed -ie '/^foo/s/4/20/g' /tmp/b cat /tmp/b foo=20 foo=4 bar=5 bar=5
Strip leading and trailing whitespace
I like this a little better than the awk version which is shorter. However this makes sense in my head.
