Do you get any error messages?

That is the best way to do it: send the output to a temporary file and mv or cp it to the original file.


Thanks Johnson for your earlier replies, but stucked again at one point. Script is running fine. Problem is if my db file is like:



version: yyyymmddrr
aaa
bbb
ccc
Include city London
ddd
eee
fff
Include city Sydney
.
.
more lines
.
..


now in this kind of db file, script is putting comment on all lines. but I need to put comment only on lines with "Include" but at the same time uncomment line matching city variable...

One last thing, I need to use this script in kind of a failover process in live production environment on large db files with around 1000 entries.

Thanks a lot in advance.
