Hi all
Im trying to learn the basics of bash and am struggling with some file manipulation. I am trying to run a script that once you have logged in allows you to change your password which is held (along with the corresponding username) in a different file called usernames. When i try to run my code the logon part runs fine, but the change of password is not stored. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The file I am using looks like this:

Ok, is there anyway of using a sed command to change the contents of a file, as I have found that whilst my sed command changes the value on the command screen but not in the file. Is it possible to alter the value in the file?
