I have a string "TBM630300000000020080506094041000003818".I want to replace the last nine digits with another string stored in a variabe called "count".The variabe is also having nine digits.Could any one please help me on this how to accomplish.I need a detail syntax(not in the short form) since i am new to the unix scripting.
I tried with some flavour of "string" commands but those are not supported by my KSH environment.
Appreciate your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NAME
_ldecvt(), _ldfcvt(), _ldgcvt() - convert long-double floating-point number to string
SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
converts value to a null-terminated string of ndigit digits and returns a pointer to the string. The high-order digit is non-zero,
unless the value is zero. The low-order digit is rounded. The position of the radix character relative to the beginning of
the string is stored indirectly through decpt (negative means to the left of the returned digits). The radix character is
not included in the returned string. If the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by sign is non-zero; other-
wise it is zero.
is identical to
except that the correct digit has been rounded for printf (FORTRAN F-format) output of the number of digits specified by
ndigit.
Convert the value to a null-terminated string in the array pointed to by buf and return buf. It produces ndigit significant digits in
FORTRAN F-format if possible, or E-format otherwise. A minus sign, if required, and a radix character are included in the
returned string. Trailing zeros are suppressed. The radix character is determined by the currently loaded NLS environment
(see setlocale(3C)). If has not been called successfully, the default NLS environment, "C" is used (see lang(5)). The
default environment specifies a period as the radix character.
