search and replace the whole line
Hi,
I have this line in a file called test.cfg
SOURCEFILE=/usr/platform/sun4v/driver/file.cfg
But i have many occurances of "SOURCEFILE" in test.cfg , i need to search only for this line and replace that line with
SOURCEFILE=/usr/platform/sun4x/driver/file.cfg
again there are many occurences of sun4v in that file but i need to replace only in this line. I tried grep for "SOURCEFILE="and using perl -pi -e but it replaces wherever it finds "sun4v" but i want only on this line.
Please help me.
Thanks.
