Another solution:
Code:
xargs printf 's/\\b%s\\b/%s/;\n' <equiv_file >subst.pl
perl -p subst.pl target_file

\\b because the \b has a special meaning in printf.
\b in perl is "word boundary" and gives a more precise match.
Code:
perl -i -p subst.pl target_file

will directly modify target_file.
The following is even more precise here, because column 1 is not involved:
Code:
xargs printf 's/(\s)%s(\s)/$1%s$2/;\n' <equiv_file >subst.pl

NAME
XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected -- A List function that replaces items in a list without selecting the replacement items SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/List.h> void XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected( Widget widget, XmString *new_items, int item_count, int position); DESCRIPTION
XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected replaces the specified number of items in the list with new items, starting at the given position. The replacement items remain unselected, even if they currently appear in the XmNselectedItems list. widget Specifies the ID of the List widget to replace items in. new_items Specifies a pointer to the replacement items. item_count Specifies the number of elements in new_items and the number of items in the list to replace. This number must be nonnegative. position Specifies the position of the first item in the list to be replaced. A value of 1 indicates that the first item replaced is the first item in the list; a value of 2 indicates that it is the second item; and so on. Beginning with the item specified in position, item_count items in the list are replaced with the corresponding elements from new_items. That is, the item at position is replaced with the first element of new_items; the item after position is replaced with the second element of new_items; and so on, until item_count is reached. For a complete definition of List and its associated resources, see XmList(3). RELATED
