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()

 # sed script to change "foo" to "bar" only on the first occurrence
 1{x;s/^/first/;x;}
 1,/foo/{x;/first/s///;x;s/foo/bar/;}
 #---end of script---

或者，如果你喜欢:编辑注:只适用于GNU sed。

sed '0,/foo/s//bar/' file 

源

我终于得到了这个工作在一个Bash脚本用来插入一个唯一的时间戳在每个项目在RSS提要:

        sed "1,/====RSSpermalink====/s/====RSSpermalink====/${nowms}/" \
            production-feed2.xml.tmp2 > production-feed2.xml.tmp.$counter

它只改变第一个事件。

${nowms}是Perl脚本设置的以毫秒为单位的时间，$counter是脚本中用于循环控制的计数器，\允许命令在下一行继续执行。

文件被读入，stdout被重定向到工作文件。

我理解它的方式，1，/====RSSpermalink====/告诉sed什么时候通过设置范围限制来停止，然后s/====RSSpermalink====/${nowms}/是熟悉的sed命令，用第二个字符串替换第一个字符串。

在我的例子中，我把命令放在双引号中，因为我在一个带有变量的Bash脚本中使用它。

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.

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。

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
