Replacing the Dates in a file
Hello Gurus,

I'm beginner in Shell scripting.
I got a requirement to write a script.

I have a file with below (similar) content

If you can observe above content, there are many date values existed (with different dates) in a format: ddMonyyyy

I have to write replace all these dates with another format: DD-MON-YY

I'm trying it to do in a single line command, but felt bit complexity.
Hence trying for shell script for same.
Could anyone please help me on above?

Thanks in advance.
