[SOLVED] Replace a string using bash file

Issue

I have in my package.json file this line :

"version": "5.0.0",

And I want to replace 5.0.0 with another dynamic value. I tried like this :

sed -i "s%5.0.0%5.1.1%g" "package.json" 

But is not good, because I don't know previous value that is 5.0.0. Should I write a regex here?

Solution

Change 5.6.7 to whatever you want. You can grep or find -exec to change many files at once.

sed -i -E 's/"version": "([0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)+)",/"version": "5.6.7",/' package.json
