# sed
> Run replacements based on regular expressions.
- Replace the first occurrence of a string in a file, and print the result:
`sed 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
- Replace all occurrences of an extended regular expression in a file:
`sed -E 's/{{regex}}/{{replace}}/g' {{filename}}`
- Replace all occurrences of a string in a file, overwriting the file (i.e. in-place):
`sed -i '' 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/g' {{filename}}`
- Replace only on lines matching the line pattern:
`sed '/{{line_pattern}}/s/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
- Apply multiple find-replace expressions to a file:
`sed -e 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' -e 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
- Replace separator / by any other character not used in the find or replace patterns, e.g., #:
`sed 's#{{find}}#{{replace}}#' {{filename}}`
