Replace second occurrence only
HPUX /bin/sh (posix)
I have a file as such cat dog mouse deer elk rabbit mouse rat pig I would like to replace the second occurrence of mouse in this file with mouse2. The rest of the file has to stay exactly as is. I'm not sure exactly where mouse might be (could be first,second,third field). TIA!!!!!! |

the poster said they wanted the second occurrence. this does that. if you need all occurrences of mouse changed on the line where the second occurrence is found then change sub to gsub.
