Thank you it works fine. Smilie One more thing,
I have a text file as 1.txt with following content,
Code:
q34566788u
w2343556666t

I have used script file sample.sh with content,

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Enter the Value : "
read value
echo "$value"
sed '1s:\(.\{4\}\)\(.\{3\}\):\1$value:' 1.txt

I used the script file to replace the value 6678 in 1.txt file with the input value on run time which i try to read with variable name value. But its not replacing the value stored on variable instead its replacing $value i.e o/p
Code:
q345$value8u

.
I want the output as
Code:
q345(input value)8u

with input value on runtime in dash places.
Help me out. Smilie
