I need to replace a space (
) with a dot (.
) in a string in bash.
I think this would be pretty simple, but I'm new so I can't figure out how to modify a similar example for this use.
To replace content in a file, you must search for the particular file string. The 'sed' command is used to replace any string in a file using a bash script. This command can be used in various ways to replace the content of a file in bash. The 'awk' command can also be used to replace the string in a file.
The Java string replace() method will replace a character or substring with another character or string. The syntax for the replace() method is string_name. replace(old_string, new_string) with old_string being the substring you'd like to replace and new_string being the substring that will take its place.
The `tr` command uses –s (–squeeze-repeats) option for search and replace any string from a text. In the following example, space (' ') is replaced by tab ('\t').
Use inline shell string replacement. Example:
foo=" " # replace first blank only bar=${foo/ /.} # replace all blanks bar=${foo// /.}
