    Can you do something like the following:

    Code:
    WORD=$(awk '{print $1}' /aaa/qqq.txt); sed -i 's/blah/${WORD}/g' uuu.txt
    If you can provide a bit more of a solid example I may be able to help more.

    It is the content of each file:
    file1.txt:


    55:00 99:00 88:00 11:00 77:00
    file2.sh: >>"a script file"



    #!/bin/sh
    at 11:11
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 22:22
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 33:33
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 44:44
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 55:55
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    and the outputfile.sh will be:




    #!/bin/sh
    at 55:00
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 99:00
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 88:00
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 11:00
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
    at 77:00
    cp /qq/event.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
    chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/event.call
