# sed
> Run replacements based on regular expressions
- replace the first occurrence of a string in a file, and print the result
`sed 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
- replace all occurrences of a string in a file, overwriting the file (i.e. in-place)
`sed -i 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/g' {{filename}}`
- replace all occurrences of an extended regular expression in a file
`sed -r 's/{{regex}}/{{replace}}/g' {{filename}}`
- apply multiple find-replace expressions to a file
`sed -e 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' -e 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
