Like I said I am doing it in perl code. It also has the substitution feature.
Can you write the search pattern. It needs to be generic in nature meaning it should replace the 54th occurance while required and 99th occurance when required. In short it should substitute any nth occurance.

sdrstring
ici::doc::pod3::sdrstring(3) ICI library functions ici::doc::pod3::sdrstring(3)
NAME
sdrstring - Simple Data Recorder string functions
SYNOPSIS
#include "sdr.h"
Object sdr_string_create (Sdr sdr, char *from);
Object sdr_string_dup (Sdr sdr, Object from);
int sdr_string_length (Sdr sdr, Object string);
int sdr_string_read (Sdr sdr, char *into, Object string);
DESCRIPTION
SDR strings are used to record strings of up to 255 ASCII characters in the heap space of an SDR. Unlike standard C strings, which are
terminated by a zero byte, SDR strings record the length of the string as part of the string object.
To store strings longer than 255 characters, use sdr_malloc() and sdr_write() instead of these functions.
Object sdr_string_create(Sdr sdr, char *from)
Creates a "self-delimited string" in the heap of the indicated SDR, allocating the required space and copying the indicated content.
from must be a standard C string for which strlen() must not exceed 255; if it does, or if insufficient SDR space is available, 0 is
returned. Otherwise the address of the newly created SDR string object is returned. To destroy, just use sdr_free().
Object sdr_string_dup(Sdr sdr, Object from)
Creates a duplicate of the SDR string whose address is from, allocating the required space and copying the original string's content.
If insufficient SDR space is available, 0 is returned. Otherwise the address of the newly created copy of the original SDR string
object is returned. To destroy, use sdr_free().
int sdr_string_length(Sdr sdr, Object string)
Returns the length of the indicated self-delimited string (as would be returned by strlen()), or -1 on any error.
int sdr_string_read(Sdr sdr, char *into, Object string)
Retrieves the content of the indicated self-delimited string into memory as a standard C string (NULL terminated). Length of into
should normally be SDRSTRING_BUFSZ (i.e., 256) to allow for the largest possible SDR string (255 characters) plus the terminating NULL.
Returns length of string (as would be returned by strlen()), or -1 on any error.
