Hi,

I have different files and I want to automatically change the values of the defined variables. i want to get rid of editing all the files and make it a little bit faster. my problem is like this.

1. i will input all the new values.
2. substitute this values into the values inside the file.

thanks.

sed script would contains
s/Search1/Replace1
s/Search2/Replace2
s/Search3/Replace3
s/Search4/Replace4

now you can use this script (TCSH) as
foreach f (`cat fileList`)
sed -f SedScript $f
end
