Full Discussion: Replace all string matches in file with unique random number

Untested.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
rndm=($(shuf -e {00..99}))
while read line
do
   if [[ "$line" =~ ^Test ]]
   then
      printf "%s%s\n" Test ${rndm[10#${line#Test}]}
   else
      printf "%s\n" "$line"
   fi
done < infile > outfile

Creates a pseudo-random list of numbers 00-99 and uses the value of the current number in the test line to index the new number.

The 10# is required to stop bash from evaluating 08 and 09 as invalid octal numbers and instead evaluate them as valid decimals.

NAME

       App::Prove::State::Result::Test - Individual test results.

VERSION

       Version 3.25

DESCRIPTION

       The "prove" command supports a "--state" option that instructs it to store persistent state across runs. This module encapsulates the
       results for a single test.

SYNOPSIS

	   # Re-run failed tests
	   $ prove --state=fail,save -rbv

METHODS

   Class Methods

   Instance Methods
       "name"

       The name of the test.  Usually a filename.

       "elapsed"

       The total elapsed times the test took to run, in seconds from the epoch..

       "generation"

       The number for the "generation" of the test run.  The first generation is 1 (one) and subsequent generations are 2, 3, etc.

       "last_pass_time"

       The last time the test program passed, in seconds from the epoch.

       Returns "undef" if the program has never passed.

       "last_fail_time"

       The last time the test suite failed, in seconds from the epoch.

       Returns "undef" if the program has never failed.

       "mtime"

       Returns the mtime of the test, in seconds from the epoch.

       "raw"

       Returns a hashref of raw test data, suitable for serialization by YAML.

       "result"

       Currently, whether or not the test suite passed with no 'problems' (such as TODO passed).

       "run_time"

       The total time it took for the test to run, in seconds.	If "Time::HiRes" is available, it will have finer granularity.

       "num_todo"

       "sequence"

       The order in which this test was run for the given test suite result.
