[SOLVED] How to integrate star (*) in the changing pattern in sed?

Issue

I have a test1.txt file with a lot of lines with different information. Among them, some lines have this kind of information:

Fam_grapsidae
Fam_bursidae
Fam_siluridae

I want to change the Fam_* into italic{*}, in order to have in test2.txt:

italic{grapsidae}
italic{bursidae}
italic{siluridae}

So I tried with sed:

 sed 's/Fam_*/italic{*\}/g' test1.txt > test2.txt

But I obtained this:

italic{*}grapsidae

So, how can I integrate stars in the sed command to have italic{grapsidae} expression ?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Solution

What you want is:

sed 's/Fam_\(.*\)/italic{\1}/' test1.txt > test2.txt
