Hello Sandeep,
I would suggest that you replace the complete string "000000000000199900000", if it is not a problem.
The command to use would be within vi and something like this
%s/old_word/new_word /g [this is within "vi". Command used to replace text (occurring any no. of times in the line) in the whole file (ignore /g if only first occurance in the line is to be replaced]
But be sure to make a copy of the original file before trying out this command.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards
Bimal

NAME
replace - A utility program that is used by msql2mysql, but that has more general applicability as well. replace changes strings in place
in files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings.
USAGE
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... -- [files]
or
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... < fromfile > tofile
SYNOPSIS
replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
replace
-?|-I info
-s silent
-v verbose
EXTRA INFO
Special characters in from string:
^ Match start of line.
$ Match end of line.
Match space-character, start of line or end of line. For a end the next replace starts locking at the end space-character. A
alone in a string matches only a space-character.
EXAMPLE
this command swaps a and b in the given files:
shell> replace a b b a -- file1 file2 ...
