Script to replace text

[JK1]

Hi there!

I've written a simple shell script for moving some files, but before I move one of the .ini files, I would like to replace "userid=12321" with "userid=4565" (for instance). If it matters, the ini file contains multiple lines.

Thanks.

sed 's/userid=12321/userid=4565/' FILE

If you want to do the replace in FILE, then add this flag -i

As Irithori pointed out, sed is the correct command to do this. The syntax is:

sed 's/Pattern_to_be_replaced/New_Pattern_to_replace/' -i File_Name

Good luck with your script!
