Yes I am somewhat familiar with this command, but the data that I am replacing can't shift right or left. This file must stay as a fixed format to be read by other processes. So if i search for data in a file such as the name which starts at position 19 and ends at position 38 of this file. Replacement data CAN NOT go past position 38. example:
grep search results for "JOE S SMITH":
#'s - Indicate spaces
730000146104218006JOE#S#SMITH#########5230 BRUNSWICK LN MACUNGIE
Replace with "TIM KIM":
730000146104218006TIM#KIM#############5230 BRUNSWICK LN MACUNGIE
or
Replace with "JEROMANIA K KALAMAZOO"
730000146104218006JEROMANIA#K#KALAMAZO5230 BRUNSWICK LN MACUNGIE

NAME
gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool
SYNOPSIS
gnome-search-tool [options]

DESCRIPTION
GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options.
GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating system. For
example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.
For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
