Script to change file contents line by line
Hi,
I'm struggling to write a script to do the following,
-will go through each line in the file
-in a specific character positions, changes
the value to a new value
-These character positions are fixed througout the file
-----------------------
e.g.: file1.sh will have the following 3 lines,
line1 aaaa xxxx
line2 bbbb yyyy
line3 cccc zzzz
After executing the script, content of file1.sh should be,
line1 a1aa xx4x
line2 b1bb yy4y
line3 c1cc zz4z
-----------------------
Thanks a ton in advance
