Hi RudiC
Thanks. What I am looking for is that. I need to read xml file and make sure whenever below lines encountered , i need follwing changes -
If I get line

Code:

keystoremyPass="xxx" />

I need to replace whatever value keystoremyPass variable contains to something junk .. so this should be replaced like -

Code:

keystoremyPass="---" />

Similarly once I get line -

Code:

myword="xxxxx"

It should be changed to

Code:

 myword="---"

Similarly if I get line

Code:

<Environment name="TTY_DAPP_OSL_KEYSTORE_MYWORD" value="xxx" type="java.lang.String"/>

It should be changed to

Code:

<Environment name="TTY_DAPP_OSL_KEYSTORE_MYWORD" value="---" type="java.lang.String"/>

Similarly for below lines as well -

Code:

<Environment name="TTY_SNO_SPNEGO_MYWORD" value="xxxx" type="java.lang.String"/>

to

Code:

<Environment name="TTY_SNO_SPNEGO_MYWORD" value="---" type="java.lang.String"/>

Code:

<Environment name="IIT_DAPP_BIND_MYWORD" value="xxxxxx" type="java.lang.String"/>

to

Code:

<Environment name="IIT_DAPP_BIND_MYWORD" value="---" type="java.lang.String"/>

Note: Line numbers are not known to me.

Hope this clears a bit. I will prefer awk but sed will also work. This will be fine to have multiple search conditions.

Thanks
