How to insert strings containing slashes with sed?

Question

I have a Visual Studio project, which is developed locally. Code files have to be deployed to a remote server. The only problem are the URLs they contain, which are hard-cod

Answer 1

this line should work for your 3 examples:

sed -r 's#\?(page)=([^&]*)&#/\1/\2#g' a.txt

• I used -r to save some escaping .
• the line should be generic for your one, two three case. you don't have to do the sub 3 times

test with your example (a.txt):

kent$  echo "?page=one&
?page=two&
?page=three&"|sed -r 's#\?(page)=([^&]*)&#/\1/\2#g'
/page/one
/page/two
/page/three
