This is a tiny part of a sed script that I'm calling from 'do shell
script' This is the misbehaving part.
SOURCE
Title: King KongTitle: Godzilla
Title: Mothra
DESIRED RESULT
Title: King Kong
Title: Godzilla
Title: Mothra
I worked out the regex to match '\BTitle: '
to negate the word boundary. In sed though, the boundary is \<
but I can't figure out how to negate that.
In my make-believe world, this would work-
sed 's/\BTitle:/Title:\r/' title.txt
I also tried ^\<(Title)
In the real world, the \B is invalid for sed, and the shell in OSX is
not handling the \r.
thx
