I've read multiple other answers on the topic but none seem to work for my problem.
I just got an answer to my other question on how to add prefixes to 2 strings of text in a long, single-line .json file.
The command is
sed -i 's~"libraries"~"pack/\0"~; s~"objects"~"pack/\0"~' /var/www/html/pack/file.json
and it contains single and double quotes, as well as forward and double slashes, making other answers fail.
I've tried
ssh ip<<'EOF'
sed -i 's~"libraries"~"pack/\0"~; s~"objects"~"pack/\0"~' /var/www/html/pack/file.json
EOF
ssh ip 'sed -i '"'"'s~"libraries"~"pack/\0"~; s~"objects"~"pack/\0"~'"'"' /var/www/html/pack/file.json'
and everything on this page, and possibly a couple other things from answers here, with no luck.
The first command, with EOF
, opens the same screen I would get when simply ssh ip
-ing; a remote command prompt. The same happens with some other commands from the Zaiste.net page.
Please note that the sed
command is being run from a script executed in terminal. Thus, multiple line answers are OK.
Also,
ssh ip 'sed -i '"'"'s~"libraries"~"pack/\0"~; s~"objects"~"pack/\0"~'"'"' /var/www/html/pack/file.json'
returns EXTRA quotes around the "objects" and "libraries" strings I am trying to prefix, for example
"minimumVersion":2,"librariesLocation":"pack/"libraries"","objectsLocation":"pack/"objects"",
If the extra quotes issue from this command can be resolved, that's the solution to my problem.
