Bug
I'm sure someone will have a better way of achieving this but here's one version:

~/scripts/play % cat file1
************************
* packageNumber : 1.0.0.14 *
* date : 2008.02.08 *
************************


~/scripts/play % cat aa
Code:
#!/bin/sh

str=1.0.0.15
timeStamp=2008.03.08
file=${HOME}/scripts/play/file1

rep1=`grep packageNumber ${file} | awk '{print $4}'`
rep2=`grep date ${file} | awk '{print $4}'`

sed -e 's/'"${rep1}"'/'"${str}"'/' -e 's/'"${rep2}"'/'"${timeStamp}"'/' $file > ${file}.tmp
mv ${file}.tmp $file

~/scripts/play % aa
~/scripts/play % cat file1
************************
* packageNumber : 1.0.0.15 *
* date : 2008.03.08 *
************************
~/scripts/play %

auplay

AUPLAY(1)						      General Commands Manual							 AUPLAY(1)

NAME

       auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server

SYNOPSIS

       auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files...

DESCRIPTION

       The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND, .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs.  It is typi-
       cally used from shell scripts or command line procedures.  If no filenames are given on the command line, audio	data  will  be	read  fron
       stdin, unless the -l option is given.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with the auplay program:

       -audio servername
	       This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played.

       -volume 0-100
	       This option specifies the volume at which the data should be played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume.  The default is
	       100 percent.

       -i      This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed along with playing the data.

       -I      This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the data.

       -l      This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read from stdin.  auplay will play these  files	after  playing	any  files
	       given explicitly as command line arguments.
