I have a file that contains multiple lines of xml. I would like to replace certain parts of the file. Some parts of the file contains quotation marks () which I would like to replace. I have been trying to escape the quotation mark with \, but I don't think this is working based on the result of my file.Here is an example of one of my sed commands:sed -e s/\text\/'text'/ig file.xml > temp.tmpIs this how you escape quotation marks in a sed command or am I doing something wrong?
How to replace quotation marks in a file with sed?
sed
Two tips:You can't escape a single quote within a string quoted with single quotes. So you have to close the quote, add an escaped quote, then open the quotes again. That is: 'foo'\''bar', which breaks down as:'foo'    quoted foo\'      escaped ''bar'    quoted baryielding foo'bar.(optional) You don't necessarily have to use / in sed. I find that using / and \ in the same sed expression makes it difficult to read.For example, to remove the quotes from this file:$ cat /tmp/faaabbb'ccc'aaaGiven my two tips above, the command you can use to remove both double and single quotes is:$ sed -e 's|['\'']||g'  /tmp/fBased on my first tip, the shell reduces sed's second argument(i.e., the string after the -e) to s|[']||g and passes that string to sed.Based on my second tip, sed treats this the same as s/[']//g.It meansremove all characters matching either ' or   (i.e., replace them with nothing)You probably need something more complex than this to do what you want, but it's a start. I hope it helps.
