reading and updating property file
I have to do a read operation for a field in property file, which looks like follows:

Code:
123|xyz|datetime|count

'|' is delimiter.

Finally I managed to read the contents of property file using statement like

Code:
cut -d"|" -f1 $PROPERTIES_FILE | tr '\n' ' '

<-- Reading first column

But now I also want some script to update. Mostly I want to update "datetime" value and "count" value which are at f3 and f4.

I found like sed command would be helpful, but dont know exactly how to do..

trying it from last few days as m beginner so it's taking time...

Thanks in Advance..!!

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
