commands to parse script

[sangamesh.bc]

Hello all,

I've a script with 10-20 lines. The following two taske have to be operated on the script.

1) Find the pattern "#$ -pe <some name> <integer number>". The line of the pattern starts with "#$".

2) After finding the presence of this line, the fourth parameter of this line i.e. <integer number> has to be modified within the same script.

What commands have to be used to achieve the above?

Thanks,
Sangamesh

HI,
set a variable to take the integer and when found re assign or do whatever you want to do to it and then when the line is output it will have the new value.
for more help you will have to be a bit more specific with your needs. Unless I am missing something.

I believe the AWK will be best where you can search for the field with the help of 'if' of the AWK and $1... $9 [ 1 & 9 are the field number ] and replace the field with the required values redirected to another file required

I am not sure of the format of your File contents
Assuming to be like this
:~/scripts$ cat test
#$ 123 1234
# 234 5678
#&#37; 678 8900

cat test | awk '{if ($1 == "#$") $3="hello"; print $3}'
hello
5678
8900
Sorry If I am wrong
