How to delete and replace last line in the terminal using bash?

Ruby replace string with captured regex pattern

Try ‘\1’ for the replacement (single quotes are important, otherwise you need to escape the \): “foo”.gsub(/(o+)/, ‘\1\1\1’) #=> “foooooo” But since you only seem to be interested in the capture group, note that you can index a string with a regex: “foo”[/oo/] #=> “oo” “Z_123: foobar”[/^Z_.*(?=:)/] #=> “Z_123”
