sorry, i cant give the contnent of input file.
This file contains the string "notes2" which has to be replaced by the string "notes".

Since i was not able to open in vi editor, i cant give the input file.
It is an export file produced by some command in our application which is in data file format. Using cat command i was able to view the file content.
