If we need to perform multiple editing with the same command, then we can use the -e command. Each edit command should be separated by the -e command. sed will apply each editing command separated by -e on the pattern space before loading the next line in the pattern space:
$ cat shopping.txt
The output is as follows:
Product Quantity Unit_Price Total_Cost
Apple 2 3 6
Orange 2 .8 1.6
Papaya 2 1.5 3
Chicken 3 5 15
Cashew 1 10 10
This is an example:
sed -e '5d' -e 's/Cashew/Almonds/' shopping.txt
The output is as follows:
Product Quantity Unit_Price Total_Cost
Apple 2 3 6
Orange 2 .8 1.6
Papaya 2 1.5 3
Almonds 1 10 10
Initially, the command for deleting the fifth line is called, then, the next substitution ...
