Hi,
I'm just teaching myself sed and awk (mostly sed, now), and I'm
trying to do something like the following:
sed -e '
s/\(Ch\.\)\(.*\)/ Chapter $((chapnum+1)) \2/g
s/\(Part\.\)\(.*\)/Part $((partnum+1)) \2/g' $filename
$filename will have "Ch" that I want to consecutive Chapter
numbers. Same with "Part", which I want to change to consecutive
Section or Part numbers. Can this kind of substitution be done
with sed? I suspect it can with awk, but I'm not there yet. I'm
sure it can be done with Perl quite easily, but I'm trying to use
shell tools if I can, just for the exercise. :-)
TIA!
