Hi Folks,

I want to replace these numbers with words as the following:

$echo 1 11 223

I want to replace each number with it name (e.g. "1" replaced with "one", etc.) just to determine how sed works in such case. Thanks in advance.

So, you want to replace 223 with "two hundred and twenty three" ???

Hi Balajesuri, Exactly! I just want to know the idea of replacing the number in 'sed' query, what I've been write above is just a very simple example to put my idea on the table. I do appreciate your replay. thanks and still looking for a solution.

It can be done easily with Perl: Lingua::EN::Numbers - search.cpan.org

Thanks Bartus for your valued support, but I'm looking for the solution with sed it self, please consoder what I've done as the following:
example. this change every (4)s that sed fine it even if it within number (e.g. 414=OFFICIAL_RATE1OFFICIAL_RATE), I',m looking to change the 4 only as a single character, hope this is clear, still waiting for your support please. Thanks

Leo

Try:

sed -e "s/\<4\>/OFFICIAL_RATE/g"

Still not working!! I found 4 not OFFICIAL_RATE in the output!!
