I want to replace the below strings



replace: print 'Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code)



with: print('Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code))



Here is the command I ran which fails



find ./ -type f -exec gsed 's/'print 'Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code)'/'print('Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code))'/g' ;


I tried to use to avoid the special characters effect but still fails too and just hangs.



find ./ -type f -exec gsed -i 's/print 'Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code)/print('Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code))/g' ;

You can either use double quotes around the expression, or close and re-open the single quotes around each literal ', like ''':



sed "s/print 'Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code)/print('Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code))/"





sed 's/print '''Status Code: code'''.format(code=r.status_code)/print('''Status Code: code'''.format(code=r.status_code))/'

You can either use double quotes around the expression, or close and re-open the single quotes around each literal ', like ''':



sed "s/print 'Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code)/print('Status Code: code'.format(code=r.status_code))/"





sed 's/print '''Status Code: code'''.format(code=r.status_code)/print('''Status Code: code'''.format(code=r.status_code))/'
