Thanks for your reply. But they are not working.
Also i want to make the changes into same file. I believe sed only gives monitor display of changes

to maintain original file

Code:
sed 's/^Data_Center_costing.*/Data_Center_costing=205/' input_file1 | sed 's/^Financial_loss.*/Financial_loss=45/' | sed 's/^operational_cost.*/operational_cost=78/' >> input_file2
 
mv input_file2 input_file1

What OS you are working on?
try
Code:
sed -i

It is giving me expected result on Solaris ksh

Hello,

Following may help you.


Code:
awk -F"=" 'NR==1{$2="205"} NR==2{$2="45"} NR==3{$2="78"} 1' OFS="\=" check_change_values_check1211

Output will be as follows.

Code:
Data_Center_costing=205
Financial_loss=45
operational_cost=78


Thanks,
R. Singh

hi ravinder,

These lines are selective lines from file. actual file contain 100s of lines. I just want to change these 3 values.
Is your code helpful in this case.?

Hi Makarand,

I already tried sed -i some days before. My OS dont support it. It says illegal option
