Using sed to replace specific character and specific position
I am trying to use sed to replace specific characters at a specific position in the file with a different value... can this be done?
Example:
File:
A0199999123
A0199999124
A0199999125
Need to replace 99999 in positions 3-7 with 88888.
Any help is appreciated.

bio::map::orderedpositionwithdistance
Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance(3pm)
NAME
Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance - Abstracts the notion of a member of an ordered list of markers. Each marker is a certain
distance from the one in the ordered list before it.
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance;
# the first marker in the sequence
my $position = Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance->new(-positions => 1,
-distance => 22.3 );
# the second marker in the sequence, 15.6 units from the fist one
my $position2 = Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance->new(-positions => 2,
-distance => 15.6 );
# the third marker in the sequence, coincidental with the second
# marker
my $position3 = Bio::Map::OrderedPositionWithDistance->new(-positions => 3,
-distance => 0 );
DESCRIPTION
This object is an implementation of the PositionI interface and the Position object handles the specific values of a position.
OrderedPositionWithDistance is intended to be slightly more specific then Position but only specific enough for a parser from the MarkerIO
subsystem to create and then pass to a client application to bless into the proper type. For an example of how this is intended to work,
see the Mapmaker.pm.
No units are assumed here - units are handled by context of which Map a position is placed in.
Se Bio::Map::Position for additional information.
