Thanks again bartus11. I tried that but the new string is being appended to eachline in the file.

The output of CURRENT_STR is

Code:
<password encrypted="true">+abcd=!password>

I am trying to replace this with

Code:
<password encrypted="false">'${NEW_PWD}'</password>/

Here is the last line of the script that i changed

Code:
perl -pi -e 's/'${CURRENT_STR}'/<password encrypted="false">'${NEW_PWD}'<\/password>/' ${DOMAIN_CFG}${CFG_FILE} ${DOMAIN_CFG}${CFG_FILE};

Please advise what is it that i'm missing here. Thanks again!
