SED QUESTION 1

[johngiggs]

Using sed, how do I use sed to substitute multiple strings without creating a large pipeline? Currently I am using pipes to connect differend sed substitutions, but I want to do it using a single sed command. Below is an example of what I'm doing:

cat file | sed 's/tst/test/g' | sed 's/beta/alpha/g'

I want to make combine the two sed statements into one. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks,

John

EITHER:
sed -e 's/tst/test/g' -e 's/beta/alpha/g' file

OR
sed -e 's/tst/test/g;s/beta/alpha/g' file vlad

Thanks, Vlad!! That's what I was looking for. I knew it was something simple, but I couln't think of the correct syntax.

Thanks,

John
