如果有人来这里替换所有行中第一次出现的字符(比如我自己)，使用这个:

sed '/old/s/old/new/1' file

-bash-4.2$ cat file
123a456a789a
12a34a56
a12
-bash-4.2$ sed '/a/s/a/b/1' file
123b456a789a
12b34a56
b12

例如，通过将1改为2，你可以只替换所有的第二个a。

没什么新内容，只是可能有一些更具体的答案:sed -rn '0，/foo(bar)。* / % % \ 1% p '

示例:xwininfo -name unit -launcher输出如下:

xwininfo: Window id: 0x2200003 "unity-launcher"

  Absolute upper-left X:  -2980
  Absolute upper-left Y:  -198
  Relative upper-left X:  0
  Relative upper-left Y:  0
  Width: 2880
  Height: 98
  Depth: 24
  Visual: 0x21
  Visual Class: TrueColor
  Border width: 0
  Class: InputOutput
  Colormap: 0x20 (installed)
  Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity
  Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
  Backing Store State: NotUseful
  Save Under State: no
  Map State: IsViewable
  Override Redirect State: no
  Corners:  +-2980+-198  -2980+-198  -2980-1900  +-2980-1900
  -geometry 2880x98+-2980+-198

使用xwininfo -name unit -launcher|sed -rn '0提取窗口ID，/^xwininfo:窗口ID: (0x[0-9a- fa -f]+)。*/ s%%\1%p'产生:

0x2200003

sed '0,/pattern/s/pattern/replacement/' filename

这对我很管用。

例子

sed '0,/<Menu>/s/<Menu>/<Menu><Menu>Sub menu<\/Menu>/' try.txt > abc.txt

编者注:两者都只适用于GNU sed。

我将提出一个建议，这并不完全是最初的问题所要求的，但对于那些还想特别替换匹配的第二次出现，或任何其他特别枚举的正则表达式匹配的人来说。使用python脚本和for循环，如果需要从bash脚本调用它。这是它看起来像我，在我替换特定行包含字符串-项目:

def replace_models(file_path, pixel_model, obj_model):
    # find your file --project matches
    pattern = re.compile(r'--project.*')
    new_file = ""
    with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
        match = 1
        for line in f:
            # Remove line ending before we do replacement
            line = line.strip()
            # replace first --project line match with pixel
            if match == 1:
                result = re.sub(pattern, "--project='" + pixel_model + "'", line)
            # replace second --project line match with object
            elif match == 2:
                result = re.sub(pattern, "--project='" + obj_model + "'", line)
            else:
                result = line
            # Check that a substitution was actually made
            if result is not line:
                # Add a backslash to the replaced line
                result += " \\"
                print("\nReplaced ", line, " with ", result)
                # Increment number of matches found
                match += 1
            # Add the potentially modified line to our new file
            new_file = new_file + result + "\n"
        # close file / save output
        f.close()
    fout = open(file_path, "w")
    fout.write(new_file)
    fout.close()

#!/bin/sed -f
1,/^#include/ {
    /^#include/i\
#include "newfile.h"
}

该脚本的工作原理:对于第1行和第一个#include(在第1行之后)之间的行，如果该行以#include开头，则在指定的行前面加上。

但是，如果第一个#include在第1行，那么第1行和下一个#include都将有该行前置。如果您正在使用GNU sed，它有一个扩展，其中0，/^#include/(而不是1，)将做正确的事情。

POSIXly(在sed中也有效)，只使用一个正则表达式，只需要一行内存(和往常一样):

sed '/\(#include\).*/!b;//{h;s//\1 "newfile.h"/;G};:1;n;b1'

解释道:

sed '
/\(#include\).*/!b          # Only one regex used. On lines not matching
                            # the text  `#include` **yet**,
                            # branch to end, cause the default print. Re-start.
//{                         # On first line matching previous regex.
    h                       # hold the line.
    s//\1 "newfile.h"/      # append ` "newfile.h"` to the `#include` matched.
    G                       # append a newline.
  }                         # end of replacement.
:1                          # Once **one** replacement got done (the first match)
n                           # Loop continually reading a line each time
b1                          # and printing it by default.
'                           # end of sed script.
