Want to find and replace, but also confirm each instance?
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
vim -c "%s/${pattern}/${replacement}/gc" -c 'wq' ${file}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notice that double-quotes (`"`) in the first command (`-c`).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, check with an example string:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sed "s/${pattern}/ARGLEBARGLE/g" ${file} | grep 'ARGLEBARGLE'
|
|
```
