  • 0

I want to replace every instance of int in a very large codebase with int32_t, for portability reasons. I have unsuccessfully tried :

 sed s/'\bint\b'/' int32_t '/g 

and it fails to match instances where the int is the first thing on the line. I am completely at a loss for how to make it match then.

Any ideas?

    Your pattern is right, works for me, including start of line case :

    sed 's/\bint\b/\ int32_t\ /g' file
    

    (possibly the quotes?)
