sed -e 's,word1,word2,gI' \  
   -e 's,word3,word4,gI' \

    ....

How can I make a script to add sed command?

Answer 1

You can use sed to process each line:

echo -n 'sed ' ; sed -e "s/^\(.*\)/-e 's,\1,gl'\ \\\/" file.csv

will produce as requested

sed -e 's,word1,word2,gl' \
-e 's,word3,word4,gl' \
-e 's,word5,word6,gl' \
