Please help me how to use sed utility In Solaris and AIX platforms. In
my Solaris box when I hit $sed , no result is showing. also $sed
–version too no showing any results. Kindly help me is there any
procedure to follow in order to work here using sed.
To clarify:
When you write "no result is showing" - do you mean nothing is printed
on the terminal, but also no errors are reported?
Or that there is an error message ?
To the best of my knowledge, both AIX and Solaris have sed installed by
default in /usr/bin/sed (it is not GNU sed, but their own implementation).
Because it is not GNU sed, using "sed --version " is an error,
and you should see the simple usage screen:
$ /usr/bin/sed --version
/usr/bin/sed: Not a recognized flag: -
Usage: sed [-n] [-u] Script [File ...]
sed [-n] [-u] [-e Script] ... [-f Script_file] ... [File ...]
On Solaris I notice that running "/usr/bin/sed" with no parameters
runs sed successfully and indeed prints nothing - but that is not an
error - it is just incorrect usage.
Regardless,
GNU sed can be compiled on both OpenSolaris and AIX without programs.
You can download the code here
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.5.tar.xz
and compile with the usual "./configure && make".
