hello,

thank's for your answer, i use "akw" because the main plattform is hpux and "gawk" is a an optional software product. i extend a litte bit your "awk" and this is now my solution:
Code:
new_value=99
awk -v newval=${new_value} ' BEGIN { FS = "[ \t]*|[ \t]+" }
 $0 ~ /^[ \t]*TEST[ \t]*/ {
  print "# Overriding: " $0; sub("[0-9]+",newval); }
  { print; }' TEST

greetings,tom

	   Display some processing information.

       -t, --trace
	   Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.

       -n, --nop
	   No operation mode. Actual execution of the essential shell commands which would be executed is suppressed.

       -w, --warning

	%install
	    shtool subst -v -n 
		-e 's;^(prefix=).*;1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix};g' 
		-e 's;^(sysconfdir=).*;1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix}/etc;g' 
		`find . -name Makefile -print`
	    make install

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
