sed -i 's/1.1.1.1/ `hostname -I | cut -f1 -d " "`/g' file.txt
Not able to overwrite IP address using sed command in a given file. How to run this (hostname -I | cut -f1 -d " "
) command with sed command?
CodePudding user response:
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -i '/1\.1\.1\.1/{s//$(hostname -I | cut -f1 -d " ")/;s/.*/echo "&"/e}' file
Place the commands between $(...)
and then echo the line using the evaluate flag of the substitution command.
CodePudding user response:
Just use a variable.
hn=$(hostname -I | cut -f1 -d" ") && sed -i "s/1\.1\.1\.1/$hn/g" file
Sed's e
and s///e
work on the entire pattern space, so it's just more trouble than it's worth.
