I'm wondering how I can do a multiple find/replace using a single sed statment in Mac OSX. I'm able to do this in Ubuntu but because of the BSD nature of OSX, the command must be slightly altered.
So, given a file with the string:
"Red Blue Red Blue Black Blue Red Blue Red"
I want to run a sed statement that results in the output:
"Green Yellow Green Yellow Black Yellow Green Yellow Green"
My two sed statements with a qualifying find
color1="Green"
color2="Yellow"
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' s/Red/$color1/g {} \;
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' s/Blue/$color2/g {} \;
I've tried several combinations of semicolons and slashes, and looked at Apple's Dev man page for sed but with a lack of examples, I couldn't piece it together.
Apple's man page says Multiple commands may be specified by using the -e or -f options. So I'd say
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' -e s/Red/$color1/g -e s/Blue/$color2/g {} \;
This certainly works in Linux and other Unices.
