I want to change a number at the end of a string by incrementing that number by one each time I run a specific
sed
line.The string looks like this:
server-port=25555
I was thinking I could run something like this
sed
line to do it, but it doesn’t work.sed -i 's/port=[0-9]{5}/int(&+1)/'
Answer
I would suggest perl
instead of sed
for this task:
perl -i -pe 's/(port=)(\d+)$/$1.($2+1)/e' filename
