Hello, I have a text file wherein I would like to rename all occurrences of the variables within it. For example, variable a, b, c, and g would be changed to apple, banana, carrot, grapefruit. How do I do this?
I'm trying this in a Mac Terminal. I'm having trouble as all instances of the letter 'a' is being replaced with apple. I would like for only the variable 'a' to be replaced.


Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

You only write pico whit “.... and after whit directly press tab button and it finish/autofill for you / pico whitman.txt .
Cool huh? Nano or Pico are the same,
Or just write this “ head -n 8 whitman.txt “. It will show you 8 lines of that file contents . u can change the 8 to whatever u like, to remove u just do “ rm -v whitman.txt “ will delete it for you.
U don’t need to write the .txt for the file, when you create/write in to a file and save it then when you try to know what’s the extension of the file you just try “ file whitman “ it will tells you it’s txt source file, if not working then do “ file - filename like “ file - whitman “
