cli-sedHow do I use the command line to compress a file using SED and ZIP?


To compress a file using SED and ZIP from the command line, you can use the following code:

sed 's/^/prefix-/' <file-name> | zip <file-name>.zip -

This code uses the sed command to add a prefix to each line of the file, then pipes the output to zip, which compresses the file into the specified <file-name>.zip.

The code consists of the following parts:

  1. sed 's/^/prefix-/' <file-name>: This uses sed to add a prefix to each line of the file specified by <file-name>.
  2. | zip <file-name>.zip -: This pipes the output of sed to zip, which compresses the file into <file-name>.zip.
