Another way is to use the tr command.
Code:
while read line_master
do
   set -- `echo $line_master | sed 's/,/ /'`
   from="$from$1"
   to="$to$2"
done < file_master
tr "$from" "$to" < file_data >file_data.$$
mv file_data.$$ file_data

The problem with this solution is that special characters, like space, comma, double quote, backslash arent't supported (same thing for Shell_life solution)
