How would you replace the n character in a file with some
xyz?

Answer Posted / seshadri sethi

sed ’s/n/xyz/g’ filename > new_filename



We can replace n characters by using the following command:
1,$s/./xyz/g
where 1 shows that the search string will start searching
patterns from first line of the file.
‘.’ for any character.
g for global replacemet.
