$Subj .= "HAD PROBLEMS"; if ($To) { $Cc = "abc\@xyz.com"; } else { $Cc = "abc\@xyz.com"; }

I have the above text in a file. I need to replace the email id in $Cc with a new email id.

I have the following sed command to do so.

sed '\|HAD PROBLEMS|,/}/ s/$Cc = (\"[A-Za-z0-9])(.)([A-Za-z0-9]*)\@xyz.com\"/\$Cc = "new email\@xyz.com"/' test.txt

This command will replace the email id only for the $Cc variable in the if {} block (first occurrence of $Cc) since my ending match pattern is a '}'. I want to replace email id in the second $Cc as well. how do i match on the 2nd occurrence of '}' ?

    Is this the only text in the file? Commented Jan 3, 2017 at 8:40

if you want to replace the Cc address to new email address, then try the below

$ sed 's/\$Cc.*/\$Cc="new_mail\@abc.com"/g' input.txt $Subj .= "HAD PROBLEMS"; if ($To) { $Cc="[email protected]" } else { $Cc="[email protected]" }

    I wonder if the @ in the new address should be escaped, as it is in the old one? And the g modifier on the s sed command is not needed, IMHO. Commented Jan 3, 2017 at 8:43
