Match multiple patterns in text files on the same line, copy line to next line and modify string

Question

I want to match multiple patterns in text files (in different directories) on the same line, copy the matched line to next line and modify the copied line. I want to duplicate every line that contains either the string "businessServices" or "BusinessServices". I don't care where the pattern to match appears in the line. I want to edit files in place. The desired added line are these global substitutions:

s#businessServices#userServices#g and s#validate#test#g
s#BusinessServices#UserServices#g
s#BUSINESS_SERVICES#USER_SERVICES#g

file1:

name="businessServices" value="validate"

file1 desired:

name="businessServices" value="validate"
name="userServices" value="test"

file2:

public static final String BUSINESS_SERVICES = "businessServices";

file2 desired:

public static final String BUSINESS_SERVICES = "businessServices";
public static final String USER_SERVICES = "userServices";

file3:

import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesResponse;

ClientBusinessServicesRequest clientBusinessServicesRequest = new ClientBusinessServicesRequest();
ClientBusinessServicesResponse clientBusinessServicesResponse = new ClientBusinessServicesResponse();

file3 desired:

import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesResponse;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesResponse;

ClientBusinessServicesRequest clientBusinessServicesRequest = new ClientBusinessServicesRequest();
ClientBusinessServicesResponse clientBusinessServicesResponse = new ClientBusinessServicesResponse();
ClientUserServicesRequest clientUserServicesRequest = new ClientUserServicesRequest();
ClientUserServicesResponse clientUserServicesResponse = new ClientUserServicesResponse();

file3 less desired (if file3 desired is too difficult to achieve):

import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesResponse;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesResponse;

ClientBusinessServicesRequest clientBusinessServicesRequest = new ClientBusinessServicesRequest();
ClientUserServicesRequest clientUserServicesRequest = new ClientUserServicesRequest();
ClientBusinessServicesResponse clientBusinessServicesResponse = new ClientBusinessServicesResponse();
ClientUserServicesResponse clientUserServicesResponse = new ClientUserServicesResponse();

I tried the following, each one get some desired results but not the entire desired results.

grep -rl businessServices . | xargs sed -i 's#\(.*\)validate\(.*\)#&\n\1test\2#' 

grep -rl businessServices . | xargs sed -i 's#\(.*\)businessServices\(.*\)#&\n\1userServices\2#'

grep -rl BusinessServices . | xargs sed -i 's#\(.*\)BusinessServices\(.*\)#&\n\1UserServices\2#g'

grep -rli businessServices . | xargs sed -i 's#\(.*\)BUSINESS_SERVICES\(.*\)#&\n\1USER_SERVICES\2#' 

Answer 1

Using GNU sed we and in extended regex mode (-E), with no autoprint (-n), and in place editing (-i)

sed -Eni '
  /[bB]usinessServices|BUSINESS_SERVICES/{
    h
    :loop
      ${g;bend;}
      n
    //{H;bloop;}
    x
    :end
    p'"
    $(< cmds.sed)
    "'
    $!G
  }
  p
' file3

• Use the OR regex to select the desired line.
• Then begin a loop to store the consecutive desired lines in the hold
• print the bunch of consecutive line(s) stored in hold.
• then perform the substitution operation by interpolating the sed commands stored in a file (cmds.sed)
• print the modified bunch + anything in hold.

---

Contents of cmds.sed file:

$ cat cmds.sed

s#businessServices#userServices#g

s#validate#test#g

s#BusinessServices#UserServices#g

s#BUSINESS_SERVICES#USER_SERVICES#g

Using GNU awk for "inplace" editing and ENDFILE, just buffer the changed lines until you hit a blank line or end of file and then print them:

$ awk -i inplace '
    !NF {
        printf "%s", buf
        buf = ""
    }
    {
        print
        orig = $0
        gsub(/businessServices/,"userServices")
        gsub(/validate/,"test")
        gsub(/BusinessServices/,"UserServices")
        gsub(/BUSINESS_SERVICES/,"USER_SERVICES")
    }
    $0 != orig {
        buf = buf $0 ORS
    }
    ENDFILE {
        printf "%s", buf
        buf = ""
    }
' file1 file2 file3

$ head file1 file2 file3
==> file1 <==
name="businessServices" value="validate"
name="userServices" value="test"

==> file2 <==
public static final String BUSINESS_SERVICES = "businessServices";
public static final String USER_SERVICES = "userServices";

==> file3 <==
import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesResponse;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesRequest;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesResponse;

ClientBusinessServicesRequest clientBusinessServicesRequest = new ClientBusinessServicesRequest();
ClientBusinessServicesResponse clientBusinessServicesResponse = new ClientBusinessServicesResponse();
ClientUserServicesRequest clientUserServicesRequest = new ClientUserServicesRequest();
ClientUserServicesResponse clientUserServicesResponse = new ClientUserServicesResponse();

I think this does what you want with two sed:

$ sed -e 's/.*business.*\|.*Business.*/&\n&/' \
    -e 's/business/user/g2' \
    -e 's/BUSINESS/USER/2' \
    -e '/^import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesResponse/s/Business/User/2' \
    -e '/^ClientBusinessServicesResponse/s/Business/User/4g' file1 file2 file3

# file1
name="businessServices" value="validate"
name="userServices" value="validate"

# file2
public static final String BUSINESS_SERVICES = "businessServices";
public static final String USER_SERVICES = "userServices";

# file3
import com.my.ClientBusinessServicesResponse;
import com.my.ClientUserServicesResponse;

ClientBusinessServicesResponse clientBusinessServicesResponse = new ClientBusinessServicesResponse();
ClientUserServicesResponse clientUserServicesResponse = new ClientUserServicesResponse();

Finally

$ sed '/userServices/s/validate/test/' file1
