Question of grep
As i understand the filter process of grep i was wondering, is it possible to to have a hidden word in a file(eg ------) and then use the grep filter to find a specific letter in that word which you can then replace with the letter in that word (eg ---a--) if it is please show me an example if it isnt which is the best form to use to change and display what i am trying to do
