Global aliases do not tab complete for me. Is this the case for everyone or just on my end?

The last section on the parameter array is really helpful. Thanks.

"just try this bash command..." says the guy who posts a fork bomb. That thing is gonna be a little too "efficient". Gotta love that the emoji system "diffused" Markus' fork bomb tho!

I just finished writing a script that provides a safer and more convenient solution for defining local aliases and functions (like you could use the .zsh_config method above for). If interested in this functionality, check it out: github://bbugyi200/LocalAlias

You might want to consider splitting it up into multiple commands and pipe them together.

Just a note, on Ubuntu 17.04 following the guide leads to a "@ERROR: setgroups failed" error. Calling setcap cap_net_bind_service,cap_setgid=+ep /usr/bin/rsync fixed it.

Janek Bevendorff: #20: Multi-line sed search and replace

nospam@example.com (Janek Bevendorff) — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 21:24:25 +0200

You could try it like this: pre. sed -n '1h; 1!H; ${ g; s//\1TRUE\2/g; p }' (ignore the double escaped HTML tags, they should actually be < and >, not < and >) However, I don't think, sed is the right tool for you. Replacing HTML or XML with regular expressions isn't really a thing (XML is not a regular language). For a few quick ad-hoc fixes, it might work, but if you really need to do some more (and guaranteed to be valid) changes, you should really use an XML parser. Remember, that the regular expression also won't match if the attributes are in the wrong order, the tag is not self-closing etc.

Hi Janek, I need to replace with The new line character and tab spaces in the first search string causes the issues. Can you please guide me to replace it?

Thank you very much, this is a very clear explanation. For the first time in years, I could use sed instead of awk for simple cases. What follows could help me to automate updates on our DNS server's config files. sed -e '/^@[ ]*IN[ ]*SOA/N;s/^$@.*\n[^0-9]*$[0-9]*/\1'$(date +"%Y%m%d%H")'/'
