To Extract words from File based on Position
Hi Guys,
While I was writing one shell script , I just got struck at this point.
I need to extract words from a file at some specified position and do some comparison operation and need to replace the extracted word with another word.
Eg : I like Orange very much.
I need to replace the word starting from 8th position till 15th ( Here 'Orange ') and needs to replace it with 'Apple ' .
I am looking for a command for this.
Will Sed command work if the word position is the only known parameter?
Looking for your suggesions
Thanks

vlatai
vlatai(1L) vlatai(1L)
NAME
vlatai - Lojban word analyzer
SYNOPSIS
vlatai [ -v ] [ word ]
DESCRIPTION
vlatai is a program that reads a list of Lojban words from standard input, one word per line. In its usual mode, it writes a single output
line for each input line, advising of which kind of Lojban word the input line is. If the input word has cmavo prefixed onto it, vlatai
shows the individual cmavo and the base word itself.
In the verbose mode (obtained using -v), the workings of the internal state machines used for scanning the word are exposed. This may give
some insight into where an error lies on words that can't be parsed, especially if the output is used in conjuction with the report files
built during the compilation process.
Note that vlatai is primarily a testbench for the word categorizer/splitter inside jbofihe. vlatai is not fully supported or documented as
a stand-alone program.
OPTIONS
-v Verbose; show lots of information about the evolution of the internal state
word The word to check. If no 'word' argument is supplied, the program reads words from standard input, one word per line (with no
whitespace around it.)
