用例可能是您的事件分布在整个文件中，但您知道您只关心前10、20或100行。

然后简单地处理这些行就可以解决问题——即使OP的措辞只是首先考虑。

sed '1,10s/#include/#include "newfile.h"\n#include/'

下面的命令删除文件中字符串的第一次出现。它还删除了空行。它显示在xml文件上，但它可以用于任何文件。

如果您使用xml文件并且想要删除一个标记，则非常有用。在本例中，它删除了第一次出现的“isTag”标记。

命令:

sed -e 0,/'<isTag>false<\/isTag>'/{s/'<isTag>false<\/isTag>'//}  -e 's/ *$//' -e  '/^$/d'  source.txt > output.txt

源文件:Source .txt

<xml>
    <testdata>
        <canUseUpdate>true</canUseUpdate>
        <isTag>false</isTag>
        <moduleLocations>
            <module>esa_jee6</module>
            <isTag>false</isTag>
        </moduleLocations>
        <node>
            <isTag>false</isTag>
        </node>
    </testdata>
</xml>

结果文件(output.txt)

<xml>
    <testdata>
        <canUseUpdate>true</canUseUpdate>
        <moduleLocations>
            <module>esa_jee6</module>
            <isTag>false</isTag>
        </moduleLocations>
        <node>
            <isTag>false</isTag>
        </node>
    </testdata>
</xml>

ps:它在Solaris SunOS 5.10(相当旧)上不能工作，但在Linux 2.6 sed版本4.1.5上可以工作

只需要在最后加上出现的次数:

sed s/#include/#include "newfile.h"\n#include/1

作为一种替代建议，您可能希望查看ed命令。

man 1 ed

teststr='
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
'

# for in-place file editing use "ed -s file" and replace ",p" with "w"
# cf. http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/howto/edit-ed
cat <<-'EOF' | sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ *$//' | ed -s <(echo "$teststr")
   H
   /# *include/i
   #include "newfile.h"
   .
   ,p
   q
EOF

sed脚本只将“Apple”第一次出现的位置替换为“Banana”

例子

     Input:      Output:

     Apple       Banana
     Apple       Apple
     Orange      Orange
     Apple       Apple

这是一个简单的脚本:编辑注:只适用于GNU sed。

sed '0,/Apple/{s/Apple/Banana/}' input_filename

前两个参数0和/Apple/是范围说明符。s/Apple/Banana/是在这个范围内执行的。因此，在这种情况下，“在Apple的开始(0)到第一个实例的范围内，将Apple替换为Banana。只有第一代苹果会被取代。

Background: In traditional sed the range specifier is also "begin here" and "end here" (inclusive). However the lowest "begin" is the first line (line 1), and if the "end here" is a regex, then it is only attempted to match against on the next line after "begin", so the earliest possible end is line 2. So since range is inclusive, smallest possible range is "2 lines" and smallest starting range is both lines 1 and 2 (i.e. if there's an occurrence on line 1, occurrences on line 2 will also be changed, not desired in this case). GNU sed adds its own extension of allowing specifying start as the "pseudo" line 0 so that the end of the range can be line 1, allowing it a range of "only the first line" if the regex matches the first line.

或者一个简化版本(空的RE，如//，意味着重用之前指定的，所以这是等价的):

sed '0,/Apple/{s//Banana/}' input_filename

对于s命令，花括号是可选的，所以这也是等价的:

sed '0,/Apple/s//Banana/' input_filename

所有这些工作都只在GNU上进行。

你也可以使用homebrew brew install GNU -sed在OS X上安装GNU sed。

这里可能的解决方案是告诉编译器包含头文件，而不在源文件中提到它。在GCC中有这些选项:

   -include file
       Process file as if "#include "file"" appeared as the first line of
       the primary source file.  However, the first directory searched for
       file is the preprocessor's working directory instead of the
       directory containing the main source file.  If not found there, it
       is searched for in the remainder of the "#include "..."" search
       chain as normal.

       If multiple -include options are given, the files are included in
       the order they appear on the command line.

   -imacros file
       Exactly like -include, except that any output produced by scanning
       file is thrown away.  Macros it defines remain defined.  This
       allows you to acquire all the macros from a header without also
       processing its declarations.

       All files specified by -imacros are processed before all files
       specified by -include.

微软的编译器有/FI(强制包含)选项。

这个特性对于一些常见的头文件来说很方便，比如平台配置。Linux内核的Makefile为此使用-include。
