AWK/SED Help needed
Hi,
I'm new to Awk/Sed programming.
I have a status file like this:
TYPE | FILE1 | Now Started
TYPE | FILE2 | Just Finished
TYPE | FILE3 | Now Started
TYPE | FILE4 | Just Finished
For a given FILE no, I need to change the "Now Started" condition to "Just Finished" in this file. The rest of the lines should appear as they are.
The File no will be set as shell variable by another process.
ALso, is there any option to change this within the file?
Please help me with this
