Change value in a file using perl or shell script
hi,

I have a local.conf file which has the first line

TOPDIR = "/home/mvdev/workspace/boxer". I want to replace the value to
"/home/common/workspace/mirror". I tried the following perl command that is

Code:
perl -p -i -e 's/Path/path1/g' myfile.txt

then

Code:
sed '/home/mvdev/workspace/boxer/c \> /home/common/workspace/mirror' local.conf

It did not work. Can you help.

Thnx

amvarma

CONFIGURATION

       In order to run correctly, strut needs to have a username, password, and server name.  This can be configured in one of several ways:

   Command line:
	   strut --username <username> --password <password> --server <server>

   Environment variables:
	   STRUT_USERNAME
	   STRUT_PASSWORD
	   STRUT_SERVER

   Configuration file:
	   ~/.app/strut.conf

       If strut can't determine your username/password/server, it will call the 'configure' subcommand to create a configuration file for you.
