我有一个用逗号分隔的字符串文件。我正试着用新的一行替换逗号。我试过了:

sed 's/,/\n/g' file

但这并不奏效。我错过了什么?


当前回答

虽然我写这篇文章晚了,只是更新我的发现。这个答案只适用于Mac OS X。

$ sed 's/new/
> /g' m1.json > m2.json
sed: 1: "s/new/
/g": unescaped newline inside substitute pattern

在上面的命令中,我尝试用Shift+Enter添加新行,但没有工作。所以这一次我尝试了“转义”的“未转义换行”,因为错误告诉。

$ sed 's/new/\
> /g' m1.json > m2.json 

成功了!(适用于Mac OS X 10.9.3)

其他回答

FWIW,下面的行工作在窗口和替换分号在我的路径变量换行。我正在使用安装在我的git bin目录下的工具。

echo %path% | sed -e $'s/;/\\n/g' | less

macOS Mojave上的sed于2005年发布,因此一种解决方案是安装gnu-sed,

brew install gnu-sed

然后使用gsed就可以了,

gsed 's/,/\n/g' file

如果你更喜欢sed,只需sudo sh -c 'echo /usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin > /etc/paths.D /brew',由brew info gnu-sed推荐。重新启动term,然后命令行中的sed为gsed。

请改用tr:

tr , '\n' < file

只是为了澄清:OSX上sed的手册页(10.8;达尔文内核版本12.4.0)说:

Sed正则表达式

 The regular expressions used in sed, by default, are basic regular expressions (BREs, see re_format(7) for more information), but extended
 (modern) regular expressions can be used instead if the -E flag is given.  In addition, sed has the following two additions to regular
 expressions:

 1.   In a context address, any character other than a backslash (``\'') or newline character may be used to delimit the regular expression.
      Also, putting a backslash character before the delimiting character causes the character to be treated literally.  For example, in the
      context address \xabc\xdefx, the RE delimiter is an ``x'' and the second ``x'' stands for itself, so that the regular expression is
      ``abcxdef''.

 2.   The escape sequence \n matches a newline character embedded in the pattern space.  You cannot, however, use a literal newline charac-
      ter in an address or in the substitute command.

所以我想一个人必须使用tr -如上所述-或者nitty

sed "s/,/^M
/g"

注意:你必须输入<ctrl>-v,<return>才能在vi编辑器中得到'^M'

这适用于MacOS Mountain Lion (10.8), Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10)和RHE Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3, Tikanga)……

$ sed 's/{pattern}/\^J/g' foo.txt > foo2.txt

... 这里的^J是通过ctrl+v+ J完成的。注意^J前面的\。

另外,我知道RHEL的sed是GNU的,MacOS的sed是基于FreeBSD的,虽然我不确定Solaris的sed,但我相信这对任何sed都适用。YMMV tho”……
