Menachem, Gary, Thanks for the help. That work.
I originally was trying sed -i~ -e "s/6750\(??W\)/6754\1/g but it failed. Thanks again, Néstor :-) On 8/7/06, Menachem Shapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I am not able to get it. Here is a quickie that worked for me (assuming the list is in a file): sed -e "s/6750\([0-9][0-9]W\)/6754\1/g" NAME_OF_FILE_HERE To edit the file in place and create a backup: sed -i~ -e "s/6750\([0-9][0-9]W\)/6754\1/g" NAME_OF_FILE_HERE Menachem > In the first sample data I want to change the second ocurrence. > > this is example data: > A67506441900675064WATER_STANDBY_CHARGE0000010001 > 16786441900675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442000675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442100675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442200675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442300675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442400675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442500675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16750442600675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > 16786442700675064WATER STANDBY CHARGE0000010001 > > Thanks, > > Néstor :-) > > -- > [email protected] > http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list > -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
