Let’s say I have a file:
2016-03 line 1.2016-03 line 2.2016-03 line 3.2016-03 line 4.
What I would normally execute:
sed 's/2016-03/\n2016-03/g' infile > outfile
But in OS X this resulted in output similar to:
2016-03 line1.n2016-3 line2.n2016-3 line3.
I tried on this for a bit before searching for the solution. The solution was to add /'$'\n which finally output what I was after:
sed 's/2016-03/\'$'\n2016-3/g' infile > outfile 2016-03 line 1. 2016-03 line 2. 2016-03 line 3. 2016-03 line 4.
