How can I add a newline after match is found
awk, bash, sed
Solution
In a substitution, `&` in the replacement will be replaced with whatever matched. So:
sed 's/64/\n&/g' file
Problem
I want to add a newline after number 64, using awk or sed, in ping output such as this: ``` 64 bytes from 170.198.42.128: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=83.4 ms 64 bytes from 170.198.42.128: icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=76.6 ms 64 bytes from 170.198.42.128: icmp_seq=3 ttl=60 time=70.8 ms 64 bytes from 170.198.42.128: icmp_seq=4 ttl=60 time=76.6 ms --- 170.198.42.128 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 70.861/76.924/83.493/4.473 ms ``` I've tried ``` cat file | sed 's/64/\n/g' ``` but this replaces the number 64. I want to break the pattern and display the ping command pattern starting with 64 properly. I tried using append and insert mode ..but not using them correctly
