how to Insert values in multiple lines(records) within a pipe delimited text file in specific cols
this is Korn shell unix.
The scenario is I have a pipe delimited text file which needs to be customized. say for example,I have a pipe delimited text file with 15 columns(| delimited) and 200 rows. currently the 11th and 12th column has null values for all the records(there are other null columns as well). I want to fill the 11 and 12 columns in all the 200 records with <word1> and <word2>. <word1> and <word2> are same for all rows like Copay|Dendrite. Pls help!!
Can this be accomplished using sed or grep patterns.

Thnaks,
Kumar
