file manipulation help please
Hi there,
I've trawled all over the web for help, and although seen some examples of what i want to do, I cannot seem to get it to work. I need to have this as a script.
If anyone can help, I would like to do the following: I have 2 files, File A and File B. I would like to keep file A but do a few manipulations to it.
In FILE A, I would like to replace a search patterns ##DATE_RUN## with the date, and where it says, ##BBG-DATA##, i would like that replaced with the contents of File B.
e.g.
File A
START-OF-FILE
DATERUN=##DATE_RUN##
REQUESTFILE=BBG_FILE.REQ
BBG-DATA-START
##BBG-DATA##
BBG-DATA-END
File B
index03
index04
index05
index06
The result of this would have File A containing:
START-OF-FILE
DATERUN=20080307
REQUESTFILE=BBG_FILE.REQ
BBG-DATA-START
index03
index04
index05
index06
BBG-DATA-END
Any help greatly appreciated!!!

xinetd.log
XINETD.LOG(5) File Formats Manual XINETD.LOG(5)
NAME
xinetd.log - xinetd service log format
DESCRIPTION
A service configuration may specify various degrees of logging when attempts are made to access the service. When logging for a service is
enabled, xinetd will generate one-line log entries which have the following format (all entries have a timestamp as a prefix):
entry: service-id data
The data depends on the entry. Possible entry types include:
START generated when a server is started
EXIT generated when a server exits
FAIL generated when it is not possible to start a server
USERID generated if the USERID log option is used.
NOID generated if the USERID log option is used, and the IDONLY service flag is used, and the remote end does not identify
who is trying to access the service.
In the following, the information enclosed in brackets appears if the appropriate log option is used.
A START entry has the format:
START: service-id [pid=%d] [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]
An EXIT entry has the format:
EXIT: service-id [type=%d] [pid=%d] [duration=%d(sec)]
type can be either status or signal. The number is either the exit status or the signal that caused process termination.
A FAIL entry has the format:
FAIL: service-id reason [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]
Possible reasons are:
fork a certain number of consecutive fork attempts failed (this number is a configurable parameter)
time the time check failed
address the address check failed
service_limit the allowed number of server instances for this service would be exceeded
process_limit a limit on the number of forked processes was specified and it would be exceeded
A DATA entry has the format:
DATA: service-id data
The data logged depends on the service.
login remote_user=%s local_user=%s tty=%s
exec remote_user=%s verify=status command=%s
Possible status values:
ok the password was correct
failed the password was incorrect
baduser no such user
shell remote_user=%s local_user=%s command=%s
finger received string or EMPTY-LINE
A USERID entry has the format:
USERID: service-id text
The text is the response of the identification daemon at the remote end excluding the port numbers (which are included in the response).
A NOID entry has the format:
NOID: service-id IP-address reason
