Find and Replace
i am having a file test1.txt and its contents is as follows.
<abcaaa bbb ccc ddd>
<dddeeeffff>
<my computer>
<abcmydocuments>

Now I need to find the text abc and should be replaced as follows.
<abc>
<dddeeeffff>
<my computer>
<abc>

First line has the text "abc" and it has to be replaced with abc removing all others characters.
Second line does not have the pattern abc and so it will not be disburbed and so as the third line.
The fourth line has the text "abc" and should be replaced by abc alone ignoring all other characters.

can anyone help me out how to perform this in unix shell script.

Thanks in advance.

list clearinghouse(1m)													    list clearinghouse(1m)

NAME

       list clearinghouse - Displays a list of all the clearinghouses whose names match the specified clearinghouse name

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp list clearinghouse clearinghouse-name [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

       The full name of a specific clearinghouse.  The last simple name can contain wildcard characters.  The name of a particular attribute.  The

DESCRIPTION

       The list clearinghouse command displays a list of all the clearinghouses whose names match the specified name.  The last  simple  name  can

       values equal to the specified values.  A space must precede and follow the = (equals sign).

   Privilege Required
       You must have read permission to the directory that stores the associated clearinghouse object entry.  If you use a with  attribute-name  =

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       The following command displays a list of all the clearinghouses named in the root directory: cdscp> list clearinghouse /.:/*

			       LIST
		      CLEARINGHOUSE   /.../abc.com/*
