Thanks for your reply. Below is the content of my file. How to replace SCCORE=somevalue to SCORE=blank in all the places in the file.
You're welcome. You might want to read it too.

Code:
cat $file | sed 's/SCORE=.*$/SCORE=\r/g' > newfile

Code:
cat $file | sed 's/SCORE=.*$/SCORE=/' > newfile

That's also a useless use of cat, by the way, so:
Code:
sed 's/SCORE=.*$/SCORE=/' < "$file" > newfile

       aha takes SGR-colored Input and prints W3C conform HTML-Code.
       aha reads the Input from a file or stdin and writes HTML-Code to stdout.

OPTIONS

       --help , -h , -?
	      A help like this

       --black , -b
	      Black Background and white "standard color"

       --pink , -p
	      Pink Background

       --iso X , -i X
	      Uses ISO 8859-X instead of utf-8. X must be 1..16

       --title X , -t X
	      Gives the html output the title

       --line-fix , -l
	      Uses a fix for inputs using control sequences to change the cursor position like htop. It's a hot fix, it may not work with any pro-
	      gram like htop. (See EXAMPLE)

EXAMPLE

       aha --help | aha --black --title "the awesome aha help"> aha-help.htm
	      Creates an HTML file with the help of aha with black background

       colordiff oldfile.c newfile.c | aha > colordiff.htm

       echo a | htop | aha --black --line-fix > htop.htm
	      Creates an HTML file with the output of htop. You have to use --line-fix due the other new-line-commands htop uses.
