How can I do 2 substitutions in ONE cmdline with sed?

[michael3]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if I could be able to run two substitutions in one sed command line. Say,

$sed 's/the/THE/g' input > output
$sed 's/1/2/g' output > input

Do sed allow me to do the above ( 2 commands ) in a single one? Many Thanks,

David

sed 's/the/THE/g;s/1/2/g'
or
sed -e 's/the/THE/g' -e 's/1/2/g' vlad

sed lets you do up to 100 commands per script.

FYI: If you don't have to save intermediate data to disk - don't. Disk I/O is pretty heavy on overhead and seek time, etc... So Vlad's solution or even

sed 's/the/THE/g' | sed 's/1/2/g' output > input

is better than the two lines. Cheers,
