**What it does**

This tool runs the unix **sed** command on the selected data file.

.. class:: infomark

**TIP:** This tool uses the **extended regular** expression syntax (same as running 'sed -r').

**Sed commands**

The most useful sed command is **s** (substitute).

**Examples**

- **s/hsa//**  will remove the first instance of 'hsa' in every line.
- **s/hsa//g**  will remove all instances (beacuse of the **g**) of 'hsa' in every line.
- **s/A{4,}/--&--/g**  will find sequences of 4 or more consecutive A's, and once found, will surround them with two dashes from each side. The **&** marker is a place holder for 'whatever matched the regular expression'.
- **s/hsa-mir-([^ ]+)/short name: \\1 full name: &/**  will find strings such as 'hsa-mir-43a' (the regular expression is 'hsa-mir-' followed by non-space characters) and will replace it will string such as 'short name: 43a full name: hsa-mir-43a'.  The **\\1** marker is a place holder for 'whatever matched the first parenthesis' (similar to perl's **$1**) .


**sed's Regular Expression Syntax**

The select tool searches the data for lines containing or not containing a match to the given pattern. A Regular Expression is a pattern descibing a certain amount of text.

- **( ) { } [ ] . * ? + \ ^ $** are all special characters. **\\** can be used to "escape" a special character, allowing that special character to be searched for.
- **^** matches the beginning of a string(but not an internal line).
- **(** .. **)** groups a particular pattern.
- **{** n or n, or n,m **}** specifies an expected number of repetitions of the preceding pattern.

  - **{n}** The preceding item is matched exactly n times.
  - **{n,}** The preceding item ismatched n or more times.
  - **{n,m}** The preceding item is matched at least n times but not more than m times.

- **[** ... **]** creates a character class. Within the brackets, single characters can be placed. A dash (-) may be used to indicate a range such as **a-z**.
- **.** Matches any single character except a newline.
- ***** The preceding item will be matched zero or more times.
- **?** The preceding item is optional and matched at most once.
- **+** The preceding item will be matched one or more times.
- **^** has two meaning:
  - matches the beginning of a line or string.
  - indicates negation in a character class. For example, [^...] matches every character except the ones inside brackets.
- **$** matches the end of a line or string.
- **\|** Separates alternate possibilities.


**Note**: SED uses extended regular expression syntax, not Perl syntax. **\\d**, **\\w**, **\\s** etc. are **not** supported.
