sed command error

[sms_2016]

Hi All,

Now i am trying to install ClamAV on my centos 7 server.while configuring i have given the below command as per tutorial.

sed -i ‘/^Example/d’ /etc/clamd.d/clamd.conf

i got the following error

sed -i ‘/^Example/d’ /etc/clamd.d/clamd.conf

Anybody can help me to fix the issue.

Thanks in Advance

You pasted the command twice. The two most likely issues: either there are unknown character in that command, or the file is not found/not what you expect it to be. For example:

Code: Select all

# cat clamd.conf 
Line one
Example: pioipl;ks
Line three
# sed -i "/^Example/d" clamd.conf
# cat clamd.conf 
Line one
Line three

should yield the desired result...

Thanks for your reply

Sorry for the mistake

The error is sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `�

Thanks in Advance

Yes, use single quote (') or double ones (") to enclose sed commands, nothing else.
