Id like to do do the following substitution
sed 's/$/)/' python2.py
with the condition that a line contains print( but it may not contain print(""".
A line that it should not match would be
print("""Some multi line text etc...
While lines like this should be matched
print("Some single line text"
Now its easy to match one or to exclude the other but i fail to combine both conditions into one command. For example
sed -ne '/print(/s/$/)/p' python2.py
Does match all lines with print( but also the ones which i would like to omit with
print(""". On the other hand i can skip all lines with print(""" with
sed -ne /print("""/! s/$/)/p python2.py
But that includes all other lines even those without print(. Is there any way to combine both conditions such that the substition is only applied when both conditions are true for a line ?
As a note :
I am aware that i can do two sed runs where i first do the substitutions for all print( lines and then do a second sed run where i remove the newly substituted ) only in the print(""" lines. I'd like to know if it is possible to do it in one go so that is not an answer that i am looking for.
With GNU sed, you can use
sed '/print("""/!{/print("/s/$/)/}' file > newfile
See the online demo.
Details:
/print("""/! - if print(""" is found, skip the line{/print("/s/$/)/} - else, if line contains print(", replace the end of line with ).
