Hi,
I have this file: ./kav4sambaservers.conf
[updater.options]
UseProxy=no
ProxyAddress=http://myURL:8080

I want replace the LINE of "UseProxy=something"
(the same for the line ProxyAddress=http://myURL:8080)

I use:
#sed -e 's/^*UseProxy=*$/^UseProxy=yes$/g' ./kav4sambaservers.conf >
../test.conf
I want replace the line with "UseProxy=" string by another line...
but my command doesn't work because I'm a beginner in this scripts...

Thxs

Use a regular expression, not a file globbing pattern.

sed -e 's/^*UseProxy=.*/UseProxy=yes/' ./kav4sambaservers.conf >> ./test.conf

To match any number of any characters, use ".*", not "*".

You can also use the -i option of sed to avoid the use of a temporary file :
sed -i -e 's/^.*UseProxy=.*/UseProxy=Ho YES/' ./kav4sambaservers.conf

Only if you are using GNU sed; -i is not a standard option.

Besides, it is safer not to edit the file _in situ_, especially if
a person has to ask how to do it.
