"sed -i" replace code example

Example 1: linux replace string in all files

sed -i 's/old-text/new-text/g' input.txt

Example 2: sed replace in file

sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' hello.txt

Example 3: replace using sed

#on my mac
sed -i -e 's/old-text/new-text/g' text.txt

Example 4: sed replace from match

Just use a similar example with using ".*" regex with sed as following:
sed 's/match_pattern.*/replacement_of_match_and_rest_of_line/' file.txt

Example 5: bash find and replace all files with specifc name with another file

find . -name "boom.txt" -exec cp ~/replace.txt {} \;

Example 6: sed replace

For using match in sed replacement, just border it with '\(' and '\)':
echo Before123 | sed 's/Before\([0-9]*\)/\1After/g'
123After	# number is matched withtin '\( \)' and replaced in '\1'
Example with 2 match replacements
echo a_b | sed 's/\(^.*\)_\(.*$\)/first is \1 and \2 is after/g'
