I want to comment the below line in one of my header file using sed

#include <stdint-gcc.h>

I tried the following and it failed

sed -i 's/#include <stdint-gcc.h>///#include <stdint-gcc.h>/g' file.h
sed: -e expression #1, char 27: unknown option to `s'

Can you please provide the exact line

Use alternate delimiter e.g. `~` : `sed -i 's~#include ~//&~' file.h` – anubhava Feb 17 '21 at 06:20
I get sed: -e expression #1, char 27: unknown option to `s' – md.jamal Feb 17 '21 at 06:21
