This question already has an answer here:



  • How can I replace a string in a file(s)?

    7 answers



I want to remove occurrence of a string from a given string. Like /hello: from a string like /yo:/sup:/hello:/yo:/hello:/yup.

And one thing for sure if string contains a colon in end then it must be removed.



There can be anything between /hello and colon (:) so I want to strip all from /hello to first colon (:).

  • Unable to replicate: echo "/yo:/sup:/hello:/yo:/hello:/yup" | sed 's_/hello[^:]*:__g' yields /yo:/sup:/yo:/yup.

  • Also can colon be optional on first match?

    – XeXkek
    Feb 15 at 15:42












  • Making the rules for one match different from the rules for the rest of the matches means you're no longer talking about a regular expression, which means it's rather difficult to do as a quick one-off.
