The sed command elixir_sinari provided would work on the strings you showed, underscore or not. The real problem is probably that you are not showing us any real data but some small sample of it. This is just stealing everybodies time.

Having said this: elixir_sinari's solution presumes the string to be changed being at the beginning of the line. This is based on the evidence you showed: the strings being at the beginning of the lines. My suspicion is that the strings are anywhere in the file, not just at the beginning of the line and therefore elixir_sinaris command won't work.

So either you present what you really see, not just an arbitrary misleading part of it, or you adapt elixir_sinaris solution to your requirements yourself.

I hope this helps.

spi_modifytuple

SPI_MODIFYTUPLE(3)					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation					SPI_MODIFYTUPLE(3)

NAME

       SPI_modifytuple - create a row by replacing selected fields of a given row

SYNOPSIS

       HeapTuple SPI_modifytuple(Relation rel, HeapTuple row, int ncols,
				 int * colnum, Datum * values, const char * nulls)

DESCRIPTION

       SPI_modifytuple creates a new row by substituting new values for selected columns, copying the original row's columns at other positions.
       The input row is not modified.

ARGUMENTS

       Relation rel
	   Used only as the source of the row descriptor for the row. (Passing a relation rather than a row descriptor is a misfeature.)

       HeapTuple row
	   row to be modified

       int ncols
	   number of column numbers in the array colnum

       int * colnum
	   array of the numbers of the columns that are to be changed (column numbers start at 1)

       Datum * values
	   new values for the specified columns

       const char * Nulls
	   which new values are null, if any (see SPI_execute_plan for the format)

RETURN VALUE

       new row with modifications, allocated in the upper executor context; NULL only if row is NULL

       On error, SPI_result is set as follows:

       SPI_ERROR_ARGUMENT
	   if rel is NULL, or if row is NULL, or if ncols is less than or equal to 0, or if colnum is NULL, or if values is NULL.

       SPI_ERROR_NOATTRIBUTE
	   if colnum contains an invalid column number (less than or equal to 0 or greater than the number of column in row)
