Hello Monks, I have a simple question to which I just can't seem to find the answer. First, here is what my file looks like (after several "sed" commands have already been executed):
policy-map ipcos-abcde16 class abcde16-Queue1 priority police rate percent 35 class abcde16-Queue2 bandwidth 25 class abcde16-Queue3 bandwidth 15
I am trying to insert a simple line break after the word "priority", so it would look like this:
policy-map ipcos-abcde16 class abcde16-Queue1 priority police rate percent 35 class abcde16-Queue2 bandwidth 25 class abcde16-Queue3 bandwidth 15
I have tried several variations of this command, but I either get nothing or a "sed: command garbled: s/priority/priority" error. I truly only need help with this one line :-(
system "sed 's/priority/priority\n\/' cos2 > cos4"; system "mv cos4 cos2";
And, before anybody asks, yes I am using strict and warnings. Any help would be appreciated.
