Replace hex in binary file with shell without sed
I have binary file that I want to replace with shell script 0xaa,0xbb,0xcc,0xdd
with 0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44
I can get 0xaa,0xbb,0xcc,0xdd
into shell script like $1
but how can I replace it with 0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44
without sed?
Thanks
scripts sed sh

You might want to clarify your requirements. For example,sed
is a standard part of Ubuntu and, for that matter, all POSIX systems. How is it that you have an Ubuntu system that doesn't havesed
? Answering that question might help us understand what tools you do have available.

Perhaps it's a requirement of the script and not that OPs lacks the sed tool!

Probablytr
is more appropriate than (line-base)sed
anyhow - another option would beperl
(which has its owntr
and may be invoked in "slurp mode")

Perhaps bash indexed arrays would help:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
my_hex=(0xaa 0xbb 0xcc 0xdd)
my_new_hex=(0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44)
# exchange values
for i in $(seq 1 "${#my_hex[@]}")
do
my_hex["$i" - 1]=${my_new_hex[$i - 1]}
echo "${my_hex[$i - 1]}"
done
