Sed quickie.

[Dorga]

I am using this in part of a commandline,

sed 's/LTO3-count ... (Should be 100/LTO3-count ... (Should be 120/g'

the first ... is a random number, in this case 3digit, the second ... I had hoped would replace the original number and not changed it to ..., I was wrong.

How can I ignore the first ..., place it back in the location of the second ..., and still change what I am trying to?

something like this ?
sed 's/LTO3-count \([0-9]*\) (Should be 100/LTO3-count \1 (Should be 120/g'

Hope This Helps, PH.
