Hi Kamaraj,

The script works fine..but as you remember as we redirecting the output back to the source file itself, the other entries which are not replaced are gone. Can you help in modifying the script in such way that the modified entries and unmodified entries are also on the same file.

The below one, is script I have put in my system, is there a way to join the both awk queries in single awk command.

Code:
for i in *.txt
do
awk -F, -v OFS=, '$2==2{$2=1;print $0}' $i > $i.out
awk -F, -v OFS=, '$2==3{$2=1;print $0}' $i >> $i.out
mv $i.out $i
done
