Serach pattern in one field and replace in another
Hi all,
I have a TAB separated file like this:
sample.rpt:
54 67 common/bin/my/home {{bla bla bla}} {bla bla} Replace Me
89 75 bad/rainy/day/out {{ some bla} } {some bla} Dontreplace Me
......
......
I wish to do a regexp match on the 3rd item, say "common/bin/my/home" and if there is a match i want to replace the 6th item "Replace Me" by my own text like "happy Home"
Additionally my regexp will be a shell variable, so I need a command which accepts regexp as variable
The items may have spaces or backslashes and the file is Tab separated.
Is there a simple one liner using sed or awk which can perform this over entire file in one command ?
Thanks in advance
