linux - awk 仅当行以结果开头时才匹配

Question

我有以下代码:

function replaceappend() {
    awk -v old="$2" -v new="$3" '
        sub(old,new) { replaced=1 }
        { print }
        END { if (!replaced) print new }
    ' "$1" > /tmp/tmp$$ &&
    mv /tmp/tmp$$ "$1"
}

replaceappend "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" "Port" "Port 222"

它工作得很好，但我希望对其进行修改，以便 awk 命令仅在该行以该结果开头时才找到匹配项。因此，如果它正在寻找单词“Port”:

Port 123 # Test   <- It would match this one
This is a Port    <- It would not match this one

我尝试查看其他询问“Awk 行开头为”的帖子，例如这篇文章，但我无法理解它:

awk, print lines which start with four digits

Answer 1

在正则表达式中，^ 仅匹配行的开头。因此，要仅在行的开头匹配 Port，请编写 ^Port。

例如，让我们创建一个文件；

$ cat >testfile
Port 123 # Test   <- It would match this one
This is a Port    <- It would not match this one

应用你的函数:

$ replaceappend testfile ^Port REPLACED

结果:

$ cat testfile 
REPLACED 123 # Test   <- It would match this one
This is a Port    <- It would not match this one
