sed question
I have this line "%is xxx = 123" in a program. I want to use sed command to replace it with something else but part of this line is not the same all the time. For example, it could be "%is xxx = 456" (and these three number change all the time)
I have:
sed 's/%is xxx = 123/my replacement/g' programfile > newfile
What modify I need to do to have it works wether it /%is xxx = 123, /%is xxx = 456 or so? I know ^ this begin of the line and $ is end of the line
sed 's/%is xxx = ***$/my replacement/g' programfile > newfile
Please advise!
Thanks!

DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and
forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user.
filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string
that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be
ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the
command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the
LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a alias_file Alias file
-c command_file Command file
-i init_file Initial file
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially.
EXIT STATUS
