I believe the 's' before the search pattern actually stands for "substitute", not "string".

it's important to note that '-i' is a GNU only option - so it won't work on BSD or MacOS etc.

Great tutorial. Unlike many other YouTuber's you don't overcomplicate things. Linux at it's core is made out of a ton of simple idea's that become complicated when they all work together.

This makes that sudoers line make all the sense now. I used to be afraid of sed, but now I can shell script more effectively. Thanks!

You make understanding the basics so clear!

[shabadabadoo]

Doing linux webserver support for well over a decade, sed became a go-to tool for flipping switches in config files. That said, I know its a lot more powerful than what I ever did with it.

[devilmaycry]
