Which token does SEDCMD utilize to substitute characters?

  1. D

  2. C

  3. S

  4. Y

The correct answer is: Y

The SEDCMD command in Splunk utilizes the 'S' token to substitute characters. This is indicative of the command's purpose, which involves performing substitution operations on specified fields or values within your data. The 'S' token functions similarly to the 's' command found in regular expressions or text processing utilities, where it denotes "substitute." When using SEDCMD, you typically specify the pattern to match and the replacement value. For example, a substitution command could look something like this: | sed 's/old_value/new_value/'. In this context, S makes it clear that the operation performed is substitution, making it straightforward for users to understand its usage and functionality. The other options do not represent the correct token for substitution within SEDCMD, meaning they do not fulfill the intended operation that this command is designed for. This highlights the importance of understanding the terminology and syntactical cues used within Splunk commands to effectively manipulate and transform data.
