How to change a number on a specific lines in a file with shell?
Hello
My problem is that I want to change some specific numbers in a file. It is like,
The number I want to edit is the number after FBO which is the 11th column in the header string.
(Ex: 2009 10 5 0705 27.2 L 40.477 29.166 5.5 FRO 7 0.7 1.2LFRO 2.4CFRO 1.3LMAM1)
All I need is to add 1.3 to that number. The line number between the blank lines vary.
I create two file one with "FRO number" and one with "FRO number+1.3" And tried to replace them with sed command.
but since the values repeated several time it went all the way wrong so that idea of mine became useless.
Any help would be appreciated...

I would like to replicate the functionality of chsh (or passwd -e) by awk.
This is what I got so far, but I think there should be an easier way to search and replace field $7 only for lines beginning with user_name:
awk -v user_name="$user_name" -v new_shell="$new_shell" -F: '$1 == user_name {... (2 Replies)

isalpha
ISALPHA(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ISALPHA(3)NAME
isalpha -- alphabetic character test
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int
isalpha(int c);
DESCRIPTION
The isalpha() function tests for any character for which isupper(3) or islower(3) is true. The value of the argument must be representable
as an unsigned char or the value of EOF.
In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (preceded by their numeric values, in octal):
101 ``A'' 102 ``B'' 103 ``C'' 104 ``D'' 105 ``E''
106 ``F'' 107 ``G'' 110 ``H'' 111 ``I'' 112 ``J''
113 ``K'' 114 ``L'' 115 ``M'' 116 ``N'' 117 ``O''
120 ``P'' 121 ``Q'' 122 ``R'' 123 ``S'' 124 ``T''
125 ``U'' 126 ``V'' 127 ``W'' 130 ``X'' 131 ``Y''
132 ``Z'' 141 ``a'' 142 ``b'' 143 ``c'' 144 ``d''
145 ``e'' 146 ``f'' 147 ``g'' 150 ``h'' 151 ``i''
152 ``j'' 153 ``k'' 154 ``l'' 155 ``m'' 156 ``n''
157 ``o'' 160 ``p'' 161 ``q'' 162 ``r'' 163 ``s''
164 ``t'' 165 ``u'' 166 ``v'' 167 ``w'' 170 ``x''
171 ``y'' 172 ``z''
RETURN VALUES
The isalpha() function returns zero if the character tests false and returns non-zero if the character tests true.
COMPATIBILITY
The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered
obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. The iswalpha() function should be used instead.
SEE ALSO ctype(3), isalnum_l(3), islower(3), isupper(3), iswalpha(3), ascii(7)STANDARDS
The isalpha() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
