sed or awk to replace a value in a certain line from another file containing a string
Hi experts,


In my text file I have the following alot of lines like below.



input.k is as follows.


Code:
2684717    -194.7050476      64.2345581     150.6500092       0       0
2684718    -213.1575623      62.7032242     150.6500092       0       0
*INCLUDE
$# filename
./meshes/exportneu/147.k
*END

mesh.k is as follows

Code:
100

or any other 3 digit number

I want to replace the 147.k of this input.k to another number from
another file mesh.k which is 100 in this case..



Required output is as follows


Code:
2684717    -194.7050476      64.2345581     150.6500092       0       0
2684718    -213.1575623      62.7032242     150.6500092       0       0
*INCLUDE
$# filename
../meshes/exportneu/100.k
*END

I used

Code:
sed '/\<meshes\>/!d;=;s/.* ([^ ]\+).*/\1/;R mesh.k' input.k | 
sed 'N;N;s|\n|s/|;s|\n|/|;s|$|/|;q'  >temp.sed       
sed -i -f temp.sed input.k

The point is that I want to replace this
Quote:
147.k to 100.k where 100
is written in another file mesh.k , like in the other file only 100 is present or it could be 3 digit anyother number.
i know it can work with searching the line with word meshes for example and the dividing with last / and piping the data from other file but am not able to formulate the sed or awk.
I hope now you people understand what I mean. regards

locale::currency

Locale::Currency(3perl) 				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				   Locale::Currency(3perl)

NAME

       Locale::Currency - standard codes for currency identification

SYNOPSIS

	   use Locale::Currency;

	   $curr = code2currency('usd');     # $curr gets 'US Dollar'
	   $code = currency2code('Euro');    # $code gets 'eur'

	   @codes   = all_currency_codes();
	   @names   = all_currency_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Currency" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying currencies and funds, such as those defined in ISO
       4217.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 4217
       three-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying currencies. The ones currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is a set of three-letter (uppercase) codes from ISO 4217 such as EUR for Euro.

	   Two of the codes specified by the standard (XTS which is reserved for testing purposes and XXX which is for transactions where no
	   currency is involved) are omitted.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA".

	   This is the default code set.

       num This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 4217.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_CURR_NUMERIC".

ROUTINES

       code2currency ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       currency2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       currency_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_currency_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_currency_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Currency::rename_currency  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Currency::add_currency  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Currency::delete_currency  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Currency::add_currency_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Currency::delete_currency_alias	( NAME )
       Locale::Currency::rename_currency_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Currency::add_currency_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Currency::delete_currency_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes man page.
