SED to replace lines containing...

[wizboyx86]

Hi,

I need a sed line that will find all lines that contain “” and then replace the entire line (not just that one string) with “8223”.

Thanks

I cannot help you with a Sed solution. Maybe others will post that one.
I can however help you with a Ruby script.

As always, test on dummy data to make sure everything is working as
you expect.

set rubyFilePath to quoted form of "/path/to/ruby_file.rb"
set sourceFilePath to quoted form of "/path/to/source_file.txt"
do shell script "/usr/bin/ruby " & rubyFilePath & space & sourceFilePath

Ruby script

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w

def replace_text
file = IO.read(ARGV[0])
puts new_text = file.gsub(/^..$/,“<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8823</int>”)

if you want to write back over the file uncomment the following line

#open(file, ‘w’) { |f| f << new_txt}
end

if FILE == $0
replace_text
end

Cheers,

Craig
