I know I'm probably missing something obvious but haven't been able to figure out exactly what my issue is. I'm trying to replace all instances of a line in a file that starts with a certain string as seen below:

sed -i '' 's/.*<CodesignProvision>.*/<CodesignProvision>22-22-22</CodesignProvision>/' $WORKSPACE/file/file1

This is giving me the error:

sed: 1: "s/.*<CodesignProvision> ...": bad flag in substitute command: 'C'

Is it the < that is causing the issue and what can I do about it? I've used sed before but not too extensively, haven't run into this yet.

Thanks

`sed -i '' 's~.*.*~22-22-22~' $WORKSPACE/file/file1` Use alternative delimiter – anubhava May 10 '17 at 14:53
Wow that was dense of me. It's because of the / in the end tag isn't it.... Thank you! – Kyle May 10 '17 at 14:56
