An example of use of sed to replace characters:
echo <string to replace> | sed <regular expression>
Regular expresion:
s -> replace.
g -> all the 'e' are replaced with 'R'. without g only one 'e' is replaced.
# -> delimitation character can be: {|, /, #}.
Example:
echo "esto es un ejemplo" | sed 's#e#R#g'
Replace New Line (\n) with ", "
sed -e ':a' -e 'N' -e '$!ba' -e 's/\n/", "/g'
