Thanks. The AWK line works - as I can put it as a one liner. The only downside is it destroys the 'look' or of the original file. It was:

Code:
Data        "1#15"
  CreateTime           ""
  Id                   1

and is now
Code:
Data "1001#15"
{
  CreateTime           ""
Id 1001

I had to add an extra space, ie, ' Id' as I had Id and xxxId and yyyId in the file and it was changing all 3

Code:
awk '/^Data/{split($2,a,"[#|\"]");$2="\"" a[2]+1000 "#" a[3] "\""}
/ Id/{$2+=1000}1' infile

as SED would just replace, I don't think it would destroy the formatting.

I can do it by making two changes. The first one is easy...add spaces before the \ :
Code:
....{split($2,a,"[#|\"]");$2="       \""....

I can change the second one by piping through SED
Code:
.... | sed -e 's/^Id /  Id                   /g'

but this seems an ugly way of doing it
