I have done a script using sed which replaces a string in file.
I face 2 problems, while using sed command.

1)last line of the file is missing.
2)if i am are using wild card character in the command, Its not taking the next matching pattern ie if I am giving the pattern abc*def to be replaced with abcXdef : and the input file contains:-

abctttttttttttdefmmmmmmmmmabcttttttttttdef

the o/p i am expecting is abcXdefmmmmmmmmmabcXdef

but the o/p I am getting is abcXdef.


the first problem is getting solved when i put an enter in the last line in the file. But i am having pratical difficulty that Its ahecking almost 600files.


My script code is giving below

script.sh
.................................

#!/bin/sh

find /opt/users/adm5tca1/simulator/OSDI/OSDISimulator/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/webapps/OSDI_SIM/WEB-INF/classes/workarea/ -name 'ResponseBody.txt' 2>/dev/null > pathy.txt
FILE_NAME=pathy.txt

while read a_line ; do

echo $a_line
/usr/bin/sed -e 's!<ns6\:originatingOrderLines><ns6\:item>.*<\/ns6\:item><\/ns6\:originatingOrderLines>!<ns6\:originatingOrderLines><ns6\:item>DEFAULT<\/ns6\:item><\/ns6\:originatingOrderLines>!g' $a_line > bb.txt
mv bb.txt $a_line
