Replace String “Development” with “Staging” or “Production” using SED












3














I am trying to replace the string



: 'development'


with



: 'production'


using sed.



I tried a few options including:



sed -i "s|: 'development'|: 'staging'|g" index.php


but without any luck. Output:



sed: 1: "index.php": command i expects  followed by text


Can someone help?

          You don’t need to escape single quotes inside double quotes, see this answer of mine:




          Enclosing characters in double quotes preserves the literal value of all characters within the quotes, with the exception of $, `, , and, when history expansion is enabled, !.




          Thus, these work:



          sed -i "s/: 'development'/: 'staging'/g" index.php
          sed -i "s|: 'development'|: 'staging'|g" index.php
          sed -i 's|: '''development'''|: '''staging'''|g' index.php

              I managed to sort it out.
              Turned out in mac machine I have to postfix .bak with -i. But in Linux it worked without it. I was first trying it in my local machine to see the output and it was failing.



              Thank you all for your help.
