replace a word

[vti]

hi again.
I would like to replace a specific word in a file with a new word.For example:


My file look like :

Monday
Tuesday Saturday Thursday
Friday Sunday

I want to replace Saturday with Wednesday but how ?

Thanks for any help..

 

[vgersh99]

{ gsub("Saturday", "Wednesday" print }


vlad

NOTE: when in doubt - "man awk"

 

[vti]

it works well but it's only print out on the screen ,when i edit the file again it is still wrong.How can i save the file.?

Thanks a lot

You could use sed instead :

sed "s/Saturday/Wednesday/g" oldfile > newfile

then rename newfile to oldfile ( having saved it of course)
