Append the values to a text

Nikhil Chavan

Hi All,

Need a Regex formula for below scenario.

String:
/Var/opt/oracle/test/myfile.txt

Output I want using Regex fomula:
cp -rp /Var/opt/oracle/test/myfile.txt /Var/opt/oracle/test/myfile.txt_${stamp}

So basically its copying the whole string twice and prefixing it with "cp -rp " and at the end its appending with “_${stamp}”

Is is possible to implement in Regex? If yes then It would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Nikhil Chavan

cp -rp /Var/opt/oracle/test/myfile.txt /Var/opt/oracle/test/myfile.txt_${stamp}

I assume you do have a file with each line being a path to a file,
if so then
find what: ^.+$
replace with: cp -rp $0 $0_${stamp}
