Hi,
I would like to replace a a set of words by another word via sed. My
first try was:
echo "a cat or a dog" | sed 's/\(cat\)\|\(dog\)/PET/g'
I also tried some variations of this. But all failed.
For any help I would be very happy.
Cheers,
Toby
P.S. some variations of the search pattern
\(cat|dog\)
\(\(cat\)\|\(dog\)\)
