Java SED command to search for numeric and replace
Hi

I am very new to linux and scripting.

I need to replace numbers abc with number xyz inputting from a reference file.
I used the following command -
sed "s/$grd/$lab/" , where $grd and $lab comes from reference file.

The problem is the above line doesnt take care of space..
eg- 1546745 12344 123
if i need to replace 123 with 666 => grd = 123, lab = 666
following is the result -
1546745 66644 666
THe required result is - 1546745 12344 666

the script shud recognise spaceNumberspace and then replace only.

Any help wud be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aj

grdcut

GRDCUT(l)																 GRDCUT(l)

NAME

       grdcut - Extract a subregion out of a .grd file

SYNOPSIS

       grdcut input_file.grd -Goutput_file.grd -Rwest/east/south/north[r] [ -V ]

DESCRIPTION

       grdcut	will   produce	 a  new  output_file.grd  file	which  is  a  subregion  of  input_file.grd.   The  subregion  is  specified  with
       -Rwest/east/south/north as in other programs; the specified range must not exceed the range of input_file.grd. If in doubt, run grdinfo	to
       check range. Complementary to grdcut there is grdpaste, which will join together two grdfiles along a common edge.

       input_file.grd
	      this is the input .grd format file.

       -Goutput_file.grd
	      this is the output .grd format file.

       -R     west,  east,  south,  and  north specify the Region of interest. To specify boundaries in degrees and minutes [and seconds], use the
	      dd:mm[:ss] format. Append r if lower left and upper right map coordinates are given instead of wesn.  This defines the subregion	to
	      be cut out.

OPTIONS

       -V     Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].

EXAMPLES

       Suppose	you  have used surface to grid ship gravity in the region between 148E - 162E and 8N - 32N, and you do not trust the gridding near
       the edges, so you want to keep only the area between 150E - 160E and 10N - 30N, then:

       grdcut grav_148_162_8_32.grd -Ggrav_150_160_10_30.grd -R150/160/10/30 -V
