Need help with awk

[smaubleu]

Hello,
I need to re-format a string using awk.

each occurence of P_1542_SET_N should become CAG(P_1542)=NORMAL. for exemple
P_1542_SET_N AND P_1642_SET_R
=>
CAG(P_1542)=NORMAL AND CAG(P_1642)=REVERSE

I tried something like :
gsub("P_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]","CAG(P_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])=NORMAL",MyString);
but I on ly get P_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] in each occurence.

Does anyone has an idea ?
Many thancks

A sed way:

sed 's!\(P_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\)_SET!CAG(\1)=!g;s!=_N!=NORMAL!g;s!=_R!=REVERSE!g' input > output

Hope This Helps, PH.
