sed code to replace character

vishesh · 05-17-2011, 07:27 AM

This is what i doing to remove ( and )

sed 's/(//'|sed 's/)//'

)

Can you offer me some better sed code that remove ( and ) with blank without using pipe (|) . I mean sed code that check ( or ) and replace that with blank character.

Code:

sed 's/[()]/ /g'

Hi,

both

Code:

sed 's/(\|)//g'
sed 's/[()]//g'

should work equally well.

EDIT:
grail was faster.
I do have a question for the OP, though. You say that you want to replace the braces with a blank character. However, in your example you simply delete them. Please clarify.
