Java Help with sed command
Hello All,

I have a value file (ValueFile.txt) which looks like

ValueFile.txt
Code:
$DB=XYZ
$INPUTFILE=/project/data/data.file.in.1.txt
$OUTPUTFILE=/project/data/data.file.txt

What I would like to do is replace the

Code:
$INPUTFILE=/project/data/data.file.in.1.txt

with

Code:
$INPUTFILE=/ABC/data_ABC/data_ABC.file.in.2.txt


I would like to "update" the valuefile.txt.

I want to read it and then write it out with that specific record replaced with the new value to a new filename NewValuefile.txt
and then replace the original file with the new file.

I tried doing 1st step of replacing specific record with the new value by using sed command but was unsuccessfull.

Code:
sed -e "s/$INPUTFILE=/project/data/data.file.in.1.txt / $INPUTFILE=/ABC/data_ABC/data_ABC.file.in.2.txt/" ValueFile.txt > NewValueFile.txt

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

       --probability=factor
		 Generate  hands matching the criteria with only the given probability. Factor is in the range 0 to 1. On each attempt to generate
		 a board it is rejected if it doesn't match the criteria with the given probability.  A factor of about  0.8  gives  roughly  half
		 matching boards
