I have a large file that has a line like:
bindaddr=0.0.0.0 ; some other text
I want to replace the 0.0.0.0 with my address 192.168.1.8 and remove everything else on the line to get:
bindaddr=192.168.1.8
How can I do that?
you could try:
sed -e /bindaddr=0.0.0.0/cbindaddr=192.168.1.8 yourfile.txt | less
if it does what you want then apply the changes with adding -i:
sed -i -e /bindaddr=0.0.0.0/cbindaddr=192.168.1.8 yourfile.txt
