ned: Simple replace.
$ ned '${dog}' --replace '${cat}' ${-}
try on your machine

This command seems to be using the command-line tool "ned" to perform a search and replace operation on a given text file. Here is a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  1. ned: It is the name or path to the "ned" command-line tool. This tool is likely used for text editing purposes.

  2. '${dog}': ${dog} is a placeholder or variable representing some text string. The command is searching for occurrences of this text within the file.

  3. --replace: It is an option which informs the "ned" tool that we want to perform a search and replace operation.

  4. '${cat}': Similar to ${dog}, ${cat} is another placeholder or variable representing a replacement text string. This string will be used to replace occurrences of ${dog} within the file.

  5. ${-}: ${-} is a placeholder or variable representing the input file. This command likely intends to process a file passed as an argument. The ${-} will be replaced with the actual file name during execution.

In summary, this command instructs the "ned" tool to search for occurrences of ${dog} within a specified file and replace them with ${cat}. The file name is expected to be provided as an argument when running the command.
