to this
Code:
1000! SRCNAM = 01000  !

does not seem to make sense given your instructions:
Quote:
...and I would like to replace the entry "1" and "00001" with "1001" and "01001"

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
