Issue
Trying to put '
before each line of text and '
at the end of each line of text.
I have been using sed 's/^/1/'
file.txt to replace to begging of each line and sed 's/$/0/'
file.txt to replace the end of each line.
What I am trying to make work is sed 's/^/'/'
and sed 's/$/'/'
This would format my file to make each line reach as a command, when applied to a separate script.
Solution
echo abc | sed "s/.*/'&'/"
Output:
'abc'
From man sed
:
The replacement may contain the special character & to refer to that portion of the pattern space which matched
