Nice! Supose other situation, the first parameter is nor the number of line, it is a string. For example:

Code:
CONFIGURATION_1=XXXX
CONFIGURATION_2=YYYY
CONFIGURATION_3=ZZZZ

supose i have a command or function "modify" that takes a file and modficates one line. "Modify" takes two arguments, a string and the new value. I want replace the line that contains a string "CONFIGURATION_2" with the value "CONFIGURATION_2=XXXX". Something like grep but writting.


Code:
#script
modify CONFIGURATION_2 CONFIGURATION_2=XXXX

The result that i want on the file:


Code:
CONFIGURATION_1=XXXX
CONFIGURATION_2=XXXX
CONFIGURATION_3=ZZZZ

Thanks!
