使用 Sed 插入模式匹配的文件内容

Question

I have a file called source.txt which contains the following lines:-

the
quick
brown
fox
jumped
over
the
lazy
dog

I want to search for the 'fox' line and delete it and all lines that follow, up to and including the 'over' line. Then I want to insert the contents of another file (fruit.txt) in place of those lines. Fruit contains:-

apples
bananas
pears

So the result should be a file that looks like this:-

the
quick
brown
apples
bananas
pears
the
lazy
dog

I think this will be possible to do using the sed command.

This command successfully removes the lines:-

sed -i -e '/fox/,/over/d' source.txt 

And this command almost works, but inserts the contents of the fruit.txt file three times, once for each matching line:-

sed -i -e '/fox/,/over/{r fruit.txt' -e 'd}' source.txt

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

In this condition you have to delete the undesired one by this command

sed -i -e '/fox/,/over/d' source.txt

Then add the required one by this command

sed -i -e '/brown/ r fruit.txt' source.txt

I hope it will help you
