want detailed info regarding..

[H_D_R]

hello all,...

i have read the awk, sed and grep command.
but still little bit confused where to use it in shell scripting..

can anyone please tell me about its usage and condition for using it in Shell scripting.

thanks to you all in advanced..

 

[Hughes]

Take sed for example.

If you want to write a script to change all occurences of text "old" to "new", you can write:

#!/bin/sh
sed -e 's/old/new/g' "$1"

or

#/usr/bin/sed -f
s/old/new/g

Save the script to file "foo" and set it with executable with "chmod", then you can type

foo myfile

to change "old" to "new" in "myfile"

I don't know why they like "foo", but I think it is just a word for example, just as "example", or "test1".

Abstract

Approximately 212 RFCs so far, starting with RFC 269, contain the
terms `foo', `bar', or `foobar' as metasyntactic variables without
any proper explanation or definition. This document rectifies that
deficiency.
