sed: Replace all `apple` (basic regex) occurrences with `mango` (basic regex) in all input lines and print the result to `stdout`.
$ ${command} | sed 's/apple/mango/g'
try on your machine
This command is a combination of two commands using the pipe operator (|) in Linux or Unix-based systems.
-
${command}: This represents a command that produces some output. It could be any valid command that generates text output.
-
sed 's/apple/mango/g': The sed command is a stream editor used for string manipulation. In this case, it is used to replace occurrences of the word "apple" with "mango" in the input stream.
- 's/apple/mango/g': This is the sed substitution command. It consists of three parts:
- 's': Represents the substitution operation in sed.
- 'apple': Specifies the text to be replaced.
- 'mango': Specifies the replacement text.
- 'g': Represents the global flag, which ensures that all occurrences of "apple" are replaced, not just the first occurrence.
So, the overall command takes the output of ${command} and passes it as input to sed. Sed then performs the substitution operation, replacing "apple" with "mango" in the streamed output, and outputs the modified output.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
