I would like to change the file content which i specified like below.I want to comment out all the lines which contains ".class" except the class name i provide.



@MyClass1.MyClass2(value = 
Class1.class,
Class2.class,
Class3.class,
Class4.class
)
public class Foo


For example if i provide Class2 as parameter to



sed -i -E 's/some_regex/Class2/g'


command,the result should be like this,



@MyClass1.MyClass2(value = 
//Class1.class,
Class2.class,
//Class3.class,
//Class4.class
)
public class Foo


What regex should i use for this?

          For a file like this:



          $ cat file1
          @MyClass1.MyClass2(value =
          Class1.class,
          Class2.class,
          Class3.class,
          Class4.class
          )
          public class Foo
          @MyClass11.MyClass2(value =
          Class1.class,
          Class2.class,
          Class3.class,
          Class4.class
          )
          public class Foo2


          You can have this result:



          $ sed '/@MyClass1.MyClass2(*/,/})/s' file1
          @MyClass1.MyClass2(value =
          // Class1.class,
          Class2.class,
          // Class3.class,
          // Class4.class
          )
          public class Foo
          @MyClass11.MyClass2(value =
          Class1.class,
          Class2.class,
          Class3.class,
          Class4.class
          )
          public class Foo2


          Explanation:



          '/@MyClass1.MyClass2(*/,/})/ .... --> range to operate in form /from/,/to/actions



          to avoid escaping //






          share)/ .... --> range to operate in form /from/,/to/actions

          s)/ .... --> range to operate in form /from/,/to/actions



          sClass.*)/ .... --> range to operate in form /from/,/to/actions



          to avoid escaping //






          share)/s' file1
          @MyClass1.MyClass2(value =
          // Class1.class,
          Class2.class,
          // Class3.class,
          // Class4.class
          )
          public class Foo
          @MyClass11.MyClass2(value =
          Class1.class,
          Class2.class,
          Class3.class,
          Class4.class
          )
          public class Foo2


          Explanation:



          '/@MyClass1.MyClass2(*/,/})/ .... --> range to operate in form /from/,/to/actions



          {s|sClass.*|//&|g; --> apply // in all lines starting with whitespace s and then Class



          /Class2/ --> remove // for Class2



          Tip: In sed we can use any char as a separator for s/replacethis/withthat/ synthax.

          I choose | to avoid escaping //

          • Great answer,but i am just wondering, what if i want to apply // in all lines ending with .class? What regex should i use instead of {s|sClass.*|//&|g; ?

          • @aekber Maybe something like s|.class$|//&|g. The use of $ is a regex anchor that means "end of line".
