I learned here about search and replace in array using array.
It goes like this.
declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Red hat' 'Ubuntu' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
echo ${Unix[@]/Red*/}
# Output will be
Debian Ubuntu Suse Fedora
In the above snippet, flag a
was used to do this with case-insensitive search. i.e I want to search with "red" instead "Red".
Just put r
and R
inside a character class []
.
$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'red hat' 'Ubuntu' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
$ echo ${Unix[@]/[rR]ed*/}
Debian Ubuntu Suse Fedora
