Hello

I am looking to have a script that performs some tasks for find and replace and inserts a line as well. I have done some programming 10 years ago, so it is causing me a little grief.

File consists of 2500 records. I will show you a sample consisting of two records below and what needs to be replaced and inserted:

dn: cn=Marquisd,ou=PTG,ou=MTL,ou=QUE,o=ASDASD
changetype: modify
ndsHomeDirectory: cn=APMMTL02F25_MRC1,ou=SVR,ou=MTL,ou=QUE,o=ASDASD# 0#USAGERS\
TVG\Chagnonl

dn: cn=USERNAME1,ou=PTG,ou=MTL,ou=QUE,o=ASDASD
changetype: modify
INSERT LINE HERE blah blah blah
ndsHomeDirectory: cn=APMMTL02F25_MRC1,ou=SVR,ou=MTL,ou=QUE,o=ASDASD# 0#USAGERS\
TVG\REPLACEHERE


basically each of the 2 above are the records. There are 2500 of them to be done.
1) I guess to cut the first line and extract the variable needed eg (Marquisd)

2)locate the end of the second line and insert the extra line to be added
3) locate the text on the end line (after the last slash) and replace this data with the entry obtained from the varialbe above
4) repeat for all the records, and end

Thanks!
JAMIE
