Sed: no input files

    sed: no input files
  

The error message “sed: no input files” typically occurs when the sed command is used without providing any input file to process or when the provided input file(s) cannot be found.

The sed command is used for text manipulation and is usually followed by various options and commands. It expects either an input file as an argument or input text provided through command redirection or a pipeline.

Examples:

• Example 1: Using sed with an input file

    sed 's/foo/bar/' input.txt
  

This command replaces the first occurrence of “foo” with “bar” in the file input.txt.

• Example 2: Using sed with command redirection

    echo "Hello, World!" | sed 's/World/John/'
  

This command replaces the word “World” with “John” in the input text “Hello, World!”.

• Example 3: Using sed with a pipeline

    cat input.txt | sed 's/foo/bar/'
  

This command reads the content of input.txt using the cat command and then replaces the first occurrence of “foo” with “bar” using sed.

To resolve the “sed: no input files” error, make sure you provide valid input to the sed command, either through an input file, command redirection, or a pipeline.
