I want execute the same above sed command in the AIX, but its throwing error like sed -r is illegal object. so please anybody tell me what is the related command in the AIX. so that i'll execute my issue in the AIX.

The -r option is not standard. You should read your system's man page for sed to see whether it has any support for extended regexps.

Better still would be to use a basic regexp:
Code:
sed 's/build=.*/build=new_build/' test

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
