Thanks for your reply. My requirement is slightly different. Search for different set of string and replace with respective value with accurate field position. For example i want to search specific set of strings from 25 to 35 and repalce with corresponding values. If replacing value has 10 character then remaining 5 character should be filled with space so that the next value starting from 36 is not shifted to left column.

Code:
 
find from 25 to 35  -- replace with
2FMDK38C39B--AAAAAAAAAAA
1FMEU64    --BBBB       
5LMFU275   --CCCCC      
1ZVHT82H28 --DD         
           --Nodata



Code:
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+----8

perror

PERROR(1)						       MySQL Database System							 PERROR(1)

NAME

       perror - explain error codes

SYNOPSIS

       perror [options] errorcode ...

DESCRIPTION

       For most system errors, MySQL displays, in addition to an internal text message, the system error code in one of the following styles:

	   message ... (errno: #)
	   message ... (Errcode: #)

       You can find out what the error code means by examining the documentation for your system or by using the perror utility.

       perror prints a description for a system error code or for a storage engine (table handler) error code.

       Invoke perror like this:

	   shell> perror [options] errorcode ...

       Example:

	   shell> perror 13 64
	   OS error code  13:  Permission denied
	   OS error code  64:  Machine is not on the network

       To obtain the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code, invoke perror with the --ndb option:

	   shell> perror --ndb errorcode

       Note that the meaning of system error messages may be dependent on your operating system. A given error code may mean different things on
       different operating systems.

       perror supports the following options.

       o   --help, --info, -I, -?

	   Display a help message and exit.

       o   --ndb

	   Print the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code.

       o   --silent, -s

	   Silent mode. Print only the error message.

       o   --verbose, -v

	   Verbose mode. Print error code and message. This is the default behavior.

       o   --version, -V

	   Display version information and exit.
