cli-sedHow can I use the AWS CLI to modify text using the sed command?

The AWS CLI can be used to modify text using the sed command. To do this, the command should be written as follows:

aws s3 cp s3://<bucket-name>/<object-name> - | sed -e '<sed-command>' | aws s3 cp - s3://<bucket-name>/<object-name>

For example, to replace the string "hello" with "goodbye" in an S3 object, the command would look like this:

aws s3 cp s3://my-bucket/my-object.txt - | sed -e 's/hello/goodbye/g' | aws s3 cp - s3://my-bucket/my-object.txt

Code explanation

aws s3 cp: This is the AWS CLI command to copy an object from an S3 bucket.
s3://<bucket-name>/<object-name>: This is the location of the S3 object to be copied.
-: This is a special character meaning "standard input".
sed -e '<sed-command>': This is the sed command used to modify the text.
aws s3 cp - s3://<bucket-name>/<object-name>: This is the AWS CLI command to copy an object to an S3 bucket.
