How sed can be used to replace multiple patterns within a string for different patterns
I want to
(1) replace multiple numbers in a line for different values. For example, in the string "uncertainty = { 0.01 , 0.01 }" it should substitute for
string "uncertainty = { 0.2 , 0.2 }".
The problem is that
(2) these lines appear in hundreds of files with different quantities of numbers inside the brackets.
It could be
"uncertainty = { 0.1 , 0.1, 0.1 }", for "uncertainty = { 0.3 , 0.3, 0.3 }" or
"uncertainty = { 0.1 , 0.1, 0.1 , 0.1, 0.1, 0.1}", for
"uncertainty = { 0.3 , 0.3, 0.3 , 0.3, 0.3, 0.3}
and so on, and I have to substitute all of them.
I could not see how sed could be used to do that.
