want to add a word in front if found another word
 

hi,

I want to add a word in front if found the word i want :

eg RewriteCond
if found the RewriteCond then add ###TEST###

I still want to keep the RewriteCond word

###TEST###RewriteCond

how to do this using SED ? Please help thank you.

Just substitute "RewriteCond" with "###TEST###RewriteCond":
Take a look at this very good sed tutorial if you want to learn sed secrets! ;)

OK, if you had read the tutorial presented by colucix, you would have found your answer. Perhaps you can read just the pertinent part.

appreciate that you can give one example as i don't really understand the tutorial mean.
Thank you in advance.

From the tutorial:

What this is doing is using the -e parameter to specify that the pieces between single quotes are to be used as a SED expression. The first expression means:

Starting with the first line (specified by the 1) and continuing until "the pattern 'start' is found" (specified by the /start/) perform the substitution of replacing "#" followed by "any number of" (specifed by the *) "any character" (specified by the ".") with nothing (specified by the emptyness between the second / and the last / in the substitution command).

I'll leave decoding the second expression as an exercise for you.

For your homework, you may also need to know that '^' matches the beginning of a line.

cool;

You need to tell us WHAT you don't understand!!!

forrestt has given you a link to the addressing feature of SED. The general construct is to first specify an "address range" and then operate within that range.

Example:
sed '/brown/,/car/s/dog/cat/' filename
Translation:
Start with the first line containing "brown", and end with the first line containing "car". In this range, replace the first occurrence on each line of "dog" with "cat"

To all,

Thank you for the explaination, i will try to figure out and apply to the script.
Thank you :)
