How do I replace words with increasing numbers?












0















For example, the only thing in file.txt looks like this:



xxxxxxxxxHAHAxxxxxxHOHOxxxxxxx  


I hope to replace HAHA with seq 1 3 and replace HOHO with seq 5 7, so the output should be:



xxxxxxxxx1xxxxxx5xxxxxxx   
xxxxxxxxx2xxxxxx6xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx3xxxxxx7xxxxxxx


What I did:



for i in $(seq 1 3)    
do sed "s/HAHA/$i/g" file.txt
for i in $(seq 5 7)
do sed "s/HOHO/$i/g" file.txt
done
done > new.txt


But new.txt doesn't show what I expected. How should I change the code?

  • By the way, I added four spaces to each line of my code, but it doesn't format like what it should be like
