Replacing a word after a matched pattern
Hello,
Actually i want to replace the word after a matched pattern.
For Ex:
lets say that i am reading a file line by line
while read line
do
echo $line
# i need to search whether a pattern exists in the file and replace the word after if the pattern exist.
# for example : $line=" this is a test line"
# $Pattern="is a"
echo "Enter a new value to replace the '"$Var1"' : "
read NwPat <&1
# i want to retrive $Var1="test" and replace it with a another pattern
# $NwPat which is provided as user input.
done < $INT_FILE
Any help would be useful.
Thanks
Rahul

tcl_stringmatch
Tcl_StringMatch(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_StringMatch(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_StringMatch, Tcl_StringCaseMatch - test whether a string matches a pattern
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_StringMatch(str, pattern)
int
Tcl_StringCaseMatch(str, pattern, flags)
ARGUMENTS
const char *str (in) String to test.
const char *pattern (in) Pattern to match against string. May contain special characters from the set *?[].
int flags (in) OR-ed combination of match flags, currently only TCL_MATCH_NOCASE. 0 specifies a case-sensitive search.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1. Otherwise
Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for matching is the same algorithm used in the string match Tcl command and is similar to
the algorithm used by the C-shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for details.
In Tcl_StringCaseMatch, the algorithm is the same, but you have the option to make the matching case-insensitive. If you choose this (by
passing TCL_MATCH_NOCASE), then the string and pattern are essentially matched in the lower case.
KEYWORDS
match, pattern, string
