Command using sed
I have a problem. I want to change ole without changing dole in this file. I've tried to use:
sed -i s/^ole$/kari/ file.txt
Is there any way to change this without using two command lines as:
sed -i s/^ole/kari/ file.txt; sed -i s/ole$/kari/ file.txt
cat file.txt
ole duck
doffen duck
dole duck
duck, ole
Solution 1:
sed -e s'/\bole\b/kari/g' file.txt
\b
boundary
