Linux String Substitute (sed)

Same here. I too left the redistribution words in the file, but failed. Was your exercise marked as passed?

No, it’s still marked as failed. I assume someone from KodeKloud will respond to this post and state whether my solution is acceptable and either update their verification code to match the wording or change the wording of the exercise to reflect that they want all lines with the string “distribution” to be deleted to avoid confusion for others in the future…

I got this result :Make sure to replace all the occurences of or to their in /home/BSD_REPLACE.txt on stapp03. But I think i did’t right.
Please advise

Hi San,
I get permission denied while running same commands.
Please check and comment.


Thanks,

where i am going wrong?

Hi @swaroopcs88,

Check the permissions on the directory you’re attempting to write to…

-Peter


I don’t have execute permission on the root directory.

You’re looking at the files in the directory - not the actual directory’s permissions…

Try “ls -ld .”

You should see that you don’t have write permissions to that directory as user “banner”.

@swaroopcs88, correct - that should, hopefully, tell you what you need. I’ve been dropping hints, as opposed to actual solutions, since I don’t recall the exact forum policy with respect to that. However, I’d imagine that KodeKloud doesn’t want us posting test solutions in the forums.

Given the tests that you’ve already completed to reach this exercise, you should have already written or edited files that are only writeable by root…

Thank you! I understand your points. Sure, I will complete the task with the hints given here and in the question.
Thanks,

You’re quite welcome, I’m happy to help!

Thanks @Inderpreet. The new task description is much better (changing “to” to “with”, in "all occurrences of ‘and’ to ‘for’, would be a slight improvement) but it looks like the task validation logic is incorrect…

Please let me know if I misinterpreted the new instructions in any way…

Thanks!
Peter

sudo sed ‘/ copyright /d’` /home/BSD.txt > /home/BSD_DELETE.txt

not sure, if the space before and after copyright caused the task to get failed.

Please check and comment.
@peterwhite Thanks for your valuable inputs, I got to know, I was supposed to log in as a root user. Then try to update the file, that’s correct?

I should have validated my results against the requirements of the question.
Which I din’t do in this question, feeling bad for me. thanks
Swaroop

Hi @Inderpreet, I think I did everything correctly and still it got failed. Request you to review my task once and let me know the details.

You’re quite welcome, Swaroop, that is correct.

Hi @peterwhite

Sorry for inconvenience, your answer is marked as SUCCESS and issue is fixed now.

Please note that you were supposed to delete the entire line containing the word copyright but you only deleted the word itself, hence your answer was marked as failed.
