Code:
perl -i.bak -00 -pe's/(TASK sipsiproc.*?ExitAction = )NONE/$1FALSE/s' inputfile

or:

Code:
perl -i.bak -00 -pe's/ExitAction = NONE/ExitAction = FALSE/ if /^TASK sipsiproc/' inputfile


With Awk (nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris):

Code:
awk '/^TASK sipsiproc/{sub(/ExitAction = NONE/,"ExitAction = FLASE")}1' ORS="\n\n" RS= inputfile>newfile

NAME
timblclient - a simple client to access the Tilburg Memory Based Learner Server SYNOPSYS
timblclient -h host -p port [-i inputfile] [-i outputfile] [--batch] [-b basename] DESCRIPTION
timblclient connects to a TimblServer on 'host':'port' and sends it the normal instructions. (see timblserver ) OPTIONS
The timblclient options are -i inputfile a series of timblserver commands. When BATCH is specified, inputfile is supposed to be a 'normal' Timbl testfile. Every line is send to the timblserver as a 'clas- sify' command. Default is stdin. -o outputfile Where to put the results. Default is stdout. --batch When --batch is specified, the input from 'inputfile' is not interpreted as timblserver commands, but as instances that will be send 'as is' prepended by a classify instruction. -h host connect to the server on 'host' -p port connect to 'port' on 'host' -b basename set the base in TimblServer to 'base' BUGS
This is just a simple testprogram, and rather clumsy. AUTHORS
