hi walid2mi,
As per your code, it will change all the occurances of any value after "=" with the new string..

Michaelrozar17,
I tested your code and it replaces the entire string with the new string.
before your code
Code:
ServerName=Address

After your code: i.e
Code:
sed 's/\(ServerName=\).*/Actual Address/g' Property.file

we get
Code:
Actual Address

instead of
Code:
ServerName=Actual Address

Hi michaelrozar17

Can you please explain the code and how it works...

Thanks!!!

www::search::lycos

WWW::Search::Lycos(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   WWW::Search::Lycos(3pm)

NAME

       WWW::Search::Lycos - class for searching www.lycos.com

SYNOPSIS

	 use WWW::Search;
	 my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Lycos');
	 my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("+sushi restaurant +Columbus Ohio");
	 $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
	 while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
	   { print $oResult->url, "
"; }

DESCRIPTION

       This class is a Lycos specialization of WWW::Search.  It handles making and interpreting Lycos-site searches http://www.lycos.com.

       This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.

NOTES

       Warning!  As of 2004-01, lycos.com often returns an error page in place of the third page of results.  So it is very difficult to get more
       than 20 hits for any query!

       www.lycos.com is sometimes slow to respond; but I have not had a problem with the default timeout.

       www.lycos.com does not give the date nor size of the pages at the resulting URLs; therefore change_date() and size() will never have a
       value.

SEE ALSO

       To make new back-ends, see WWW::Search.

BUGS

       Please tell the author if you find any!
