In Sed how can I replace starting from the 7th character to the 15th character.
Hi All,
Was wondering how I can do the following....
I have a String as follows
"ACCTRL000005022RRWDKKEEDKDD...."
This string can be in a file called tail.out or in a Variable called $VAR2
Now I have another variable called $VAR1="000004785" (9 bytes long), I need the content of $VAR1 in the string $VAR2
Example:
VAR1=000004785
|
|
VAR2= "ACCTRL000005022RRWDKKEEDKDD...."
So it should look like...
VAR2= "ACCTRL000004785RRWDKKEEDKDD...."
I know this can be done by sed, but I need to know how to replace from the 7th character till the 15th character.
Any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks,

mbrlen
MBRLEN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MBRLEN(3)
NAME
mbrlen - determine number of bytes in next multibyte character
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
size_t mbrlen(const char *s, size_t n, mbstate_t *ps);
DESCRIPTION
The mbrlen function inspects at most n bytes of the multibyte string starting at s and extracts the next complete multibyte character. It
updates the shift state *ps. If the multibyte character is not the null wide character, it returns the number of bytes that were consumed
from s. If the multibyte character is the null wide character, it resets the shift state *ps to the initial state and returns 0.
If the n bytes starting at s do not contain a complete multibyte character, mbrlen returns (size_t)(-2). This can happen even if n >=
MB_CUR_MAX, if the multibyte string contains redundant shift sequences.
If the multibyte string starting at s contains an invalid multibyte sequence before the next complete character, mbrlen returns
(size_t)(-1) and sets errno to EILSEQ. In this case, the effects on *ps are undefined.
If ps is a NULL pointer, a static anonymous state only known to the mbrlen function is used instead.
RETURN VALUE
The mbrlen function returns the number of bytes parsed from the multibyte sequence starting at s, if a non-null wide character was recog-
nized. It returns 0, if a null wide character was recognized. It returns (size_t)(-1) and sets errno to EILSEQ, if an invalid multibyte
sequence was encountered. It returns (size_t)(-2) if it couldn't parse a complete multibyte character, meaning that n should be increased.
