I have the following csv file:
hd1,100
hd2,200
I'd like to change it so it reads like this:
hard1drive,100
hard2drive,200
I thought sed could help:
sed s'/hd[0-9]/hard[0-9]drive]/ < infile.csv
but instead of the desired output I get:
hard[0-9]drive,100
hard[0-9]drive,200
Is there any way I can 'capture' the number from the search parameter and insert it within the replace parameter within sed, or am I going to have to use another command?

option without grouping:
kent$ echo "hd1,100
hd2,200"|sed 's/d[0-9]/ar&drive/'
hard1drive,100
hard2drive,200
