尽管对上面的正确答案表示尊重，但像那样“演练”脚本总是一个好主意，这样就不会破坏文件，而不得不从头开始。

让你的脚本将输出溢出到命令行，而不是写入文件，例如，像这样:

sed -e s/STRING_TO_REPLACE/STRING_TO_REPLACE_IT/g index.html

OR

less index.html | sed -e s/STRING_TO_REPLACE/STRING_TO_REPLACE_IT/g 

通过这种方式，您可以查看和检查命令的输出，而不会截断文件。

当shell在命令行中看到> index.html时，它会打开文件index.html进行写入，删除之前的所有内容。

要解决这个问题，你需要将-i选项传递给sed，以便内联更改，并在它执行更改之前创建原始文件的备份:

sed -i.bak s/STRING_TO_REPLACE/STRING_TO_REPLACE_IT/g index.html

如果没有.bak，该命令将在某些平台上失败，例如Mac OSX。

我正在寻找可以定义直线范围的选项，并找到了答案。例如，我想将host1从第36-57行更改为host2。

sed '36,57 s/host1/host2/g' myfile.txt > myfile1.txt

你也可以使用gi选项来忽略字符大小写。

sed '30,40 s/version/story/gi' myfile.txt > myfile1.txt

使用sed的-i选项，例如:

sed -i bak -e s/STRING_TO_REPLACE/REPLACE_WITH/g index.html

警告:这是一个危险的方法!它滥用了linux中的i/o缓冲区，通过特定的缓冲选项，它可以处理小文件。这是一件有趣的奇事。但是不要在真实的情况下使用它!

除了sed的-i选项 您可以使用tee实用程序。

从男人:

Tee -从标准输入读取并写入标准输出和文件

所以，解决方案是:

sed s/STRING_TO_REPLACE/STRING_TO_REPLACE_IT/g index.html | tee | tee index.html

-- here the tee is repeated to make sure that the pipeline is buffered. Then all commands in the pipeline are blocked until they get some input to work on. Each command in the pipeline starts when the upstream commands have written 1 buffer of bytes (the size is defined somewhere) to the input of the command. So the last command tee index.html, which opens the file for writing and therefore empties it, runs after the upstream pipeline has finished and the output is in the buffer within the pipeline.

下面的方法很可能行不通:

sed s/STRING_TO_REPLACE/STRING_TO_REPLACE_IT/g index.html | tee index.html

-- it will run both commands of the pipeline at the same time without any blocking. (Without blocking the pipeline should pass the bytes line by line instead of buffer by buffer. Same as when you run cat | sed s/bar/GGG/. Without blocking it's more interactive and usually pipelines of just 2 commands run without buffering and blocking. Longer pipelines are buffered.) The tee index.html will open the file for writing and it will be emptied. However, if you turn the buffering always on, the second version will work too.

要更改多个文件(并将每个文件的备份保存为*.bak):

perl -p -i -e "s/\|/x/g" *  

将采取所有文件在目录和替换|与x 这就是所谓的“Perl饼”(简单如饼)
