The pattern does not exist in a line per se....it is part of the line...the problem I am having is that the pattern needs to be replaced with another pattern....The previous seems to be just putting it out to a file if i want to...

how do I replace something like

sc_DWSTAGE.*INITIAL.bad

to sc_DWSTAGE_.*1.bad where there can be more characters on the line...


so a sample line would be
<ATTRIBUTE NAME ="Reject filename" VALUE ="sc_DWSTAGE_XYZ_XYZ_XYZ_INITIAL.bad"/>

i want to replace to:
<ATTRIBUTE NAME ="Reject filename" VALUE ="sc_dwstage_xyz_xyz_xyz1.bad"/>
