Does lookbehind work in sed?

Question

I created a test using grep but it does not work in sed.

grep -P \'(?<=foo)bar\' file.txt

This works correctly

Answer 1

GNU sed does not have support for lookaround assertions. You could use a more powerful language such as Perl or possibly experiment with ssed which supports Perl-style regular expressions.

perl -pe 's/(?<=foo)bar/test/g' file.txt
