Script to parse and update a parameter file
Dear All-
My requirement is as below, need your inputs please
1]
I have a file name Param.txt which contains the below data
#GLOBAL#
PARAM_VALUE=N
.............
............
CTRY=UK
.........
2] Next, I want to write a script which will check for some condition (lets assume checking count of records in a file). Once this condition is success, the script should read Param.txt, parse this file to find #GLOBAL#, and find the parameter "PARAM_VALUE" and then change the value of this from N to Y.
Thus post running of this script, it should ideally update value of parameter value within a file (from N to Y in this case)
Please help me with this script..
Thanks in advance
Suresh

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
