SED help

[Milleniumlegend]

I am trying to substitue 4 lines with replaces.

define CA_ID=FRPSADSK122
define ISS_ID=9
define RUN_NBR_FROM=9
define RUN_NBR_TO=9

What I want to do is change the CA_ID value and the other values within them with a replacement value.

I have these values entered within a file and would like to change the values through sed and output them to a different file with the new values for these.

Could some one help me out with a sed command.

I was trying s/"define CA_ID=*$"/"define CA_ID=$ARG1"/ as we want to change them only once on line 4 and the others on the other lines.

Could someone help me to fix these.

Thanks

wich language is: define CA_ID=FRPSADSK122 ?

sed -e "s/\(CA_ID=\).*/\1$1/g

 

[PHV]

Something like this ?
sed "
/CA_ID/s!=.*!=$ARG1!
/ISS_ID/s!=.*!$ARG2!
/RUN_NBR_FROM/s!=.*!$ARG3!
/RUN_NBR_TO/s!=.*!$ARG4!
" /path/to/input >output

Hope This Helps, PH.
