#on my mac
sed -i -e 's/old-text/new-text/g' text.txt
echo remove_staystay... | sed 's/.*(stay.*)/1/g'
stay #remove all but from last ocurrence match until end
For using match in sed replacement, just border it with '(' and ')':
echo Before123 | sed 's/Before([0-9]*)/1After/g'
123After # number is matched withtin '( )' and replaced in '1'
Example with 2 match replacements
echo a_b | sed 's/(^.*)_(.*$)/first is 1 and 2 is after/g'
Just use a similar example with using ".*" regex with sed as following:
sed 's/match_pattern.*/replacement_of_match_and_rest_of_line/' file.txt
