While each of Don Cragun's arguments holds true, just for the exercise I'm trying to infer the logics from your first post: field 4 is the link that glues together two records, of which field 2 is filled with "none1111" if the system did not have the correct value yet by the time of file creation. Both records need to be included at their original location in the file, and "none1111" needs to be replaced by the correct value found later in the same file for field 4. I'm sure there will be much more elegant solutions, but, as you are grepping several times, so do I. We need to run through the input file at least three times - a) to find the field 4 values, b) to find the field 2 values, and c) to replace. Step b) will be repeated for every pattern occurrence in the ifile. Here we go:
Well, this one would remove the problem of repeated grep runs using xargs (whose known problem hopefully won't hit us in this case):
And, finally, a "oneliner" in which all parameters for sed are being created in a command substitution:
Like awk better? Try this:

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
