Write me a sed script that will fix them all
Looking at your files, I can see the mismatches between the meta refresh URLs and the href URLs. Here's a sed script that will fix all of them: ```bash #!/bin/bash # Fix east.html - update meta refresh to match href sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/east-friendly"|' east.html # Fix index.html - update meta refresh to match href sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/grab-a-quick-meeting"|' index.html # Fix soon.html - update meta refresh to match href sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/quick-chat-soon"|' soon.html ``` Or if you prefer a one-liner approach, you can run these commands sequentially: ```bash sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/east-friendly"|' east.html sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/grab-a-quick-meeting"|' index.html sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/quick-chat-soon"|' soon.html ``` Note: `long.html` doesn't need fixing as its meta refresh URL already matches its href URL. The script uses `|` as the delimiter instead of `/` to avoid conflicts with the forward slashes in the URLs, and the `-i` flag edits the files in place.
sed: 1: "east.html": invalid command code e sed: 1: "index.html": command i expects \ followed by text sed: 1: "soon.html": unterminated substitute in regular expression some errors
The issue is with the syntax. You need to put the filename at the end and the sed command first. Here are the corrected commands: ```bash sed -i '' 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/east-friendly"|' east.html sed -i '' 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/grab-a-quick-meeting"|' index.html sed -i '' 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/quick-chat-soon"|' soon.html ``` Or if you're on Linux (not macOS), remove the empty quotes after `-i`: ```bash sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/east-friendly"|' east.html sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/grab-a-quick-meeting"|' index.html sed -i 's|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/FBhvLA83MvQh7AA7"|content="1;url=https://book.vimcal.com/p/dannyobrien/quick-chat-soon"|' soon.html ``` The key differences: 1. Put the filename at the end 2. On macOS, use `-i ''` (with empty quotes for no backup) 3. On Linux, use `-i` (without quotes)
