Useful sed scripts and patterns

Re:Useful sed scripts and patterns by dolmen on Friday November 12, 2021 @06:22AM (#29198172)

Most examples that use '#!/bin/bash' should be rewritten to use '#!/usr/bin/sed -f'.

Example "multiple replacements":

    #!/usr/bin/sed -f
    s/a/A/
    s/foo/BAR/
    s/hello/HELLO/

Save it as replace.sed; chmod u+rx replace.sed; ./replace.sed myfile.txt

Thanks, I've modified to use .sed scripts instead. I used bash scripts because I remembered (incorrectly it seems) that sed scripts were unsafe.
