Hello,
I need to execute a shell command that contains a tabulation, and I don't know how to do it with Cygwin. The command is as follows:
"find sed -i 's/PROCESS M/c PROCESS M/' {} \;"
knowing that there are 2 tabulations between PROCESS and M

can someone help me

thanks in advance

Hello,

Your order doesn’t make any sense ;-\

Then what do you want to do with "sed"? (in your example you want to replace "Process M" with "Process M")

Are the two tabs on the left or right side of "sed"?

P.S. Use the tags "< code >" and "</ code >" (without spaces after the opening angle brackets and before the closing angle brackets) to format text on the forum :
$ echo -e "A\t\tB" A B $ echo -e "A\tB" A B
;-))

I want to replace "<PROCESS\t\tM>" with "<c PROCESS\t\tM>" (the difference is the "c "), but now I've made a mistake, a wrong maneuver, I thought "<[\t]>" represented tabulation and as a result in my files I have "<c PROCESS[ ][ ]M>" and I don't want the brackets to show up, can you help me please?

The command is "<find . -type f -name "doris1.in" -exec sed -i 's/PROCESS[\t][\t]M/c PROCESS[\t][\t]M/' {} \;>"

Furthermore, it applied the modification to all my doris1.in files in other subdirectories; I only wanted to test the command on one file, but it applied to all the files.

Generally speaking, you should never test with the switch "-i"!!! You put nothing and that way at least you see the result on the screen, or you put "-i.BAK" and it creates a backup file for you...

Could you please upload a file "doris1.in" to "cjoint" so we don't make another mistake and ensure the syntax to use (in case there are characters that you missed).
echo -e "PROCESS[\t][\t]M" | sed 's/PROCESS\[\t\]\[\t\]M/c PROCESS\t\tM/' c PROCESS M

Voici la traduction demandée : Here is the first command to restore your tabs without the brackets (remove the "-n" and the final "p" if the result is good and replace it with "-i" or "-i.bak"):
sed -n 's/PROCESS\[\t\]\[\t\]M/PROCESS\t\tM/p' doris1.in
and the second to take into account the forgotten line (if it’s really a forgotten one, since there are empty spaces before the 2 tabs) above 2 others (same for this one for the "-n" and "p"):
sed -n 's/PROCESS[ ]*\t\tM/ c &/p' doris1.in
;-))
