Using SLED SP1 and SED. I need to add some text before some existing text in 1 file, in about 100 different spots. The existing text is as follows: <A onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return false;" HREF='/kjvdict/indexFRMB01C001.htm'>1</A> The section of text above will differ in every line. So the section indexFRMB01C001 will appear as indexFRMB01C002 on the next line and so on for all 100 lines. Randall S wrote a killer script that would add quotes to some text so i am trying to modify that script and use it but not having much luck. Here is the script: #!/bin/sh targetList=( # ... or "ls": $( ls *.php ) ) for target in "${targetList[@]}"; do sed \ --in-place= \ -e "1s;*.htm;'&';" \ "$target" done You can see that i am trying to use a wildcard in *.htm......Clearly, i don't know what i am doing :) Can someone (nicely) help me with this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
