Hi Pirolgra

vi <file_name>

:%s/FALSE/TRUE/g

Then save and exit
:wq

You can use vi editor commands like that to have the work done.

I want to do this change whit a script .

 

[sushveer]

It can be done non interactively by using sed utility...

Nothing is infeasible! in unix !!
So write a script by using sed with appropriate flags...
If u want my help in programming and automation ...Please give your specifications/all details...I will write a program and post at this forum...
As I am bz right now...I will write it after 7pm..after reaching home...
I can't spend much time on this forum now!

hi ,
you can do something like this :-

#!/bin/ksh

INFILE=file__to_change
OUTFILE=file_with_changes

cat $INFILE | sed -e 's/FALSE/TRUE/' > $OUTFILE

exit 0

Hi pir

In your first post u mentioned that FALSE position will not be in the same location...right??? what are the prefixing words of false (record line) will it be same time every time?
u want to change only one FALSE of particular record...that
line num varies?clarify me...sp that I can give appropriate
answer.

[pirolgra]

yes,FALSE position will not be in the same location
I want to change only one FALSE of particular record
( for example MM_BLOCK_L FALSE)
The line number varies.

bye
