Interactive String Substitution
Want to find and replace, but also confirm each instance?
1vim -c "%s/${pattern}/${replacement}/gc" -c 'wq' ${file}
Notice that double-quotes ("
) in the first command (-c
).
Alternatively, check with an example string:
1sed "s/${pattern}/ARGLEBARGLE/g" ${file} | grep 'ARGLEBARGLE'
