<p><strong>sed</strong>, short for "stream editor", allows you to filter and transform text. A stream editor is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream (a file, or input from a pipeline). While in some ways similar to an editor which permits scripted edits (such as ed), <strong>sed</strong> works by making only one pass over the input(s), and is consequently more efficient. But it is <strong>sed</strong>'s ability to filter text in a pipeline which particularly distinguishes it from other types of editors.<sup id="fnref1"><a href="#fn1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup></p>

</tbody>
</table>
<p>The "-i" option is used to make modifications to files immediately. You can also make backups if you offer "SUFFIX" specifications as well. The commonly used "-e" option doesn't modify the files.</p>
<h2 id="toc_1">Use inside bash scripts</h2>
<p>Using <strong>sed</strong> inside some bash script is an elegant way to exploit its true power. But here are some pitfalls you might come across along the way. If you like to <strong>echo</strong> the commands you want to excute before the actual excution, you might get the error " :sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: ' " ' ".<br/>
Below is a typical case:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">inFile="$WORK/${SimName}.in"
replaceCmd="sed 's/sim.dat/${SimName}.dat/g' $inFile"
echo $replaceCmd
$replaceCmd
</code></pre>
<p>It seems that the single quotes inside the string "replaceCmd" weren't recongized by the <strong>sed</strong> command. </p>
<p>One way to get across this problem is to use <strong>eval</strong> command.<br/>
Instead of using </p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$replaceCmd
</code></pre>
<p>, you can use </p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">eval "$replaceCmd"
</code></pre>
<p>This will make the <strong>sed</strong> command work properly. <br/>
But using <strong>eval</strong> is in general not recommended due to security reasons.<sup id="fnref2"><a href="#fn2" rel="footnote">2</a></sup></p>
<p>The recommended method is to wrap the <strong>sed</strong> command inside a function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">replaceCmd(){
sed "s/sim.dat/$1.dat/g" "$2"
}
inFile="$work/$SimName.in"
replaceCmd "$SimName" "$inFile"
</code></pre>
<p>This method is found in LinuxQustions.org forum.<sup id="fnref3"><a href="#fn3" rel="footnote">3</a></sup></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Oh, hells no! Never, and I mean NEVER, use eval for something as trivial as this. Indeed, you should only very rarely need it at all. It can be quite a security risk, and is almost never really necessary in general scripting.</p>
<p>In addition, variables are for storing data, not code. The spaces, quotes, and other special characters cease to be special when in a variable (unless the expansion is unquoted, then some of them still have an effect, but likely not the one you want; see my next point), and in any case leads to unclear, obfuscated code flow. If you need repeated use of the same command, don't put it inside a variable, use a function.</p>
<p>A second problem here is that if the sed command is surrounded by single quotes, the variable inside them does not get expanded. No quotes is even worse, as the shell attempts to perform word-splitting and glob expansion after the substitution.</p>
