# Apply Multiple Substitutions To The Input
|
||||
|
||||
You can apply multiple substitutions to the input of a `sed` command a couple
|
||||
ways.
|
||||
|
||||
One of those ways is to use the `-e` flag multiple times to define
|
||||
substitutions that should be _appended_ to the `sed` script.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ echo 123 | sed -e 's/3/three/' -e 's/1/one/'
|
||||
one2three
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Another way is to define a single string as the `sed` script and separate each
|
||||
substitution with a `;` (semicolon).
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ echo 123 | sed 's/3/three/; s/1/one/'
|
||||
one2three
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these will run each substitution in the `sed` script sequentially for
|
||||
each line in the input.
