search for string and replace backwards
I'm new to Unix scripting and I'm not sure if this can be done. Example:
search (grep) in a file for 'Control ID' and then replace with 4 blanks 7 bytes before 'Control ID.
input
"xxxxxx1234xxxxxxxControl IDxxxxxx"
output:
"xxxxxx xxxxxxxControl IDxxxxxx"
thanks!
