replace − a string−replacement utility
replace arguments |
The replace utility program changes strings in place in files or on the standard input.
Invoke replace in one of the following ways:
shell>
replace from to [from to] ...
−− file [file]
...
shell> replace from to [from
to] ... < file
from represents a string to look for and to represents its replacement. There can be one or more pairs of strings.
Use the −− option to indicate where the string−replacement list ends and the filenames begin. In this case, any file named on the command line is modified in place, so you may want to make a copy of the original before converting it. replace prints a message indicating which of the input files it actually modifies.
If the −− option is not given, replace reads the standard input and writes to the standard output.
replace uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. It can be used to swap strings. For example, the following command swaps a and b in the given files, file1 and file2:
shell> replace a b b a −− file1 file2 ...
The replace program is used by msql2mysql. See msql2mysql(1).
replace supports the following options:
• |
−?, −I |
Display a help message and exit.
• |
−# debug_options |
Write a debugging log. The debug_options string often is ´d:t:o,file_name’.
• |
−s |
Silent mode. Print less information what the program does.
• |
−v |
Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
• |
−V |
Display version information and exit.
