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
