hi all,

i have a file named VAL

cat VAL
@905544|0|{5|1|-1|-1|-1|1247559121|}

the value which changes in this is 905544.

i want to replace this '905544' value by other value say '905600'

i am trying this

i have taken this value '905544' to a file named $Curr
and to be value to a file named $Tobe is ''905600'' , i am doing this because these values are not fixed.

commad am using is:

sed 's/`cat $Curr`/`cat $Tobe`/ $VAL $VAL_New

its creating a zero byte file named VAL_New.

Please suggest other alternative than sed if possible for this task.

Thanks
