Re: [Lilux-help] sed

In all other cases, it only makes matters more complicated because you've got to be very careful about quoting... If you have multiple substitutions, you need to prefix each one with -e Or else the script will mistake each one except the first for a filename. Indeed, that's what happens (every substitution mistaken for a filename) I suppose menu is supposed to be the input file. No idea why it is being mistaken as a command, maybe the eval? Try this instead: sed \ -e "s/prix1/\"${prix[1]}\"/g" \ -e "s/prix2/\"${prix[2]}\"/g" \ -e "s/prix3/\"${prix[3]}\"/g" \ -e "s/prix4/\"${prix[4]}\"/g" \ -e "s/prix5/\"${prix[5]}\"/g" \ menu (This is assuming you actually want quotes in your output. If the quotes were only there for the eval, just leave them out:) sed \ -e "s/prix1/${prix[1]}/g" \ -e "s/prix2/${prix[2]}/g" \ -e "s/prix3/${prix[3]}/g" \ -e "s/prix4/${prix[4]}/g" \ -e "s/prix5/${prix[5]}/g" \ menu > Normal, since I don't use simple quotas ' . > When I put the quotas : > eval sed ' With single quote, you don't need to escape the doublequote sign.... -e Alain
