I'm new to unix and need some help creating a script to edit a file.
Lets assume the file's location is /opt/server_config
I need to edit the line in this file "hostname=<<followed by the
hostname>>" to become "hostname="
Is this possible via a script?
Thanks for any and all help!
Yes.
I would advise you to learn emacs which is a powerful and fully
scriptable editor.
Otherwise, for a lot of simple edits, you can use sed, (Stream EDitor).
For example:
For operating on a file in place, better to use ed than sed (thus the names, EDitor vs Stream EDitor).
