How to search and replace string from nth column from a file?
I wanted to search for a string and replace it with other string from nth column of a file which is comma seperated which I am able to do with below
# For Comma seperated file without quotes
# For Comma seperated file with quotes
But I wanted to make it in one command so that it works for both type of file. I know I can do with sed command sed -i "s/$PPK/$NPK/" $FileName but it replaces the value in other columns as well so can anyone suggest what can be done ?
Here ColumnNo is the nth column from which I wanted to replace PPK to NPK.
Please find other details

Locale::Codes::LangVar(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::LangVar(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangVar - standard codes for language variation identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangVar;
$lvar = code2langvar('acm'); # $lvar gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
$code = langvar2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'
@codes = all_langvar_codes();
@names = all_langvar_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangVar" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language variations, such as those as defined in
the IANA language registry.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
registry codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language variations. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
a constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lvar = code2langvar('en','alpha-2');
$lvar = code2langvar('en',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of alphanumeric codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'arevela' for Eastern Armenian.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA".
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langvar ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langvar2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langvar_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langvar_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langvar_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
