Writing input data in file
I am having an input file for eg. file.txt which contains pipe delimited rows

file.txt:
Code:
xx|yyy|zz|12|3|aaaaa|.....
yy|zz|1|3|4|xxxxx|.......
.
.
.

i want the above file name to be transformed into another file with giving input from the user and replacing the corresponding fields based upon the input. Below is the eg:
Code:
xx|yyy|"input"|for number generate random numbers|...
yy|"input"|1|random number|4|xxxxxx|.....
.
.
.

so finally my redirect file would have:
output_file.txt:
Code:
xx|yyy|input|random number|3|aaaaa|.....
yy|input|1|random number|4|xxxxx|.......
. 
.

like wise


i have achieved the below code:

Code:
awk -F \| -V repl="$var"
  'BEGIN {OFS ="|"}
   {
     $4=repl;
     for (i=0;i<3;i++) {
       $3=sprintf("%d",rand()*100+1);
       print;
     }
   }'  input.txt > output.txt

but the above code would work printing n number of times based on the input given
and morever wat i need as well is replace and generate random number as well as per my previous requirements.

requirement:
replace a string whatevr the input given by the user
generate random numbers between 1-100
print for N number of times

hence i would execute my script like this
sh script.sh replace_string input_file_name n(number of time to print)

the above is wat i am trying now problem facing in printing N number of times if i hard code n then its working.

sylseg-sk-training(1)						   USER COMMANDS					     sylseg-sk-training(1)

NAME

       sylseg-sk-training - train the statistic for the syllabic segmentation

SYNOPSIS

       sylseg-sk-training [--color] [--dl debug level] [--help] [<input file>]

DESCRIPTION

       The sylabic segmentation is esential for some linguistic or speech recognition applications. Depending on the language either rule based or
       statistical approach is beying used. For Slovak the statistical approach seems to be more suitable.

       sylseg-sk-training creates the necessary data for one of the statistical approaches for	the  syllabic  segmentaion.  The  input  data  are
       expected  to  be word segmented into syllables. The syllabic separator should be "-".  If no input file is specified, the standard input is
       expected.  The output is written in to the file. The filename is input filename with the extension  ".statistics".  If  standard  input	is
       used, then the output filename is syl_output.statistics.

       The design of the sylseg-sk-training is language independent. Theoretically it should work for any language.

OPTIONS

       --color
	      Enable color output.

       --dl   Set  the	debug  level. Control the amount of displayed information The debug level 0 displays nothing. The maximum level 5 displays
	      full debugging report. The default debug level is 1.

       --help display a short help text

EXAMPLES

       Use file aaa.txt as training input and set up debug level to 3:
	      sylseg-sk-training --dl 3 aaa.txt

EXIT STATUS

       sylseg-sk-training returns a zero if the training  succeeds
