REOPEN - Replace a word After a string (Scottn and Bartus11)
Hello,

The solution was working fine until i had following in my input file:

Soln By Scottn:
Code:
awk -vx=2010-06-28 '{sub("....-..-..",x,$0)}1' vwdef_MoSumSnpsht1_tmp

the $0 got replaced with the .ksh script name I was running dont know why??

I did the following

Code:
awk -vx=2010-06-28 '{sub("....-..-..",x)}1' vwdef_MoSumSnpsht1_tmp

and it worked
Could you please explain the difference?

Soln By Bartus11:
----------------

Code:
sed "s/[0-9][^']*/$curdate/" file1

Input file contained a field as

Code:
Replace view Test1
,TotUnasgndNetAmt
FROM DEV_EIS_T.Wkly_SO_CCD_MOSumSnpsht
WHERE
CalDayRunDt = '2010-07-21'
UNION ALL
SELECT
CalDayRunDt
,BusWkCd
,'N'

which got changed to
Code:
Replace view Test2010-07-28
,TotUnasgndNetAmt
FROM DEV_EIS_T.Wkly_SO_CCD_MOSumSnpsht
WHERE
CalDayRunDt = '2010-07-28'
UNION ALL
SELECT
CalDayRunDt
,BusWkCd
,'N'

I was expecting "Replace view Test1" to stay as it is I only want to replace characters that are enclosed in single quotes and start and end with numbers or rather it will always be date in format yyyy-mm-dd.

e.g '2010-06-21' should be replaced by '2010-07-28'

Code:
sed "s/*\'[0-9][^']*/2010-06-28/"

works fine but it replaces other numbers in the file as well.

Thank you once again.
