Thank you very much. It works. It would be great if you can explain how it works.

You are right. It works. I am actually trying to format the output using awk and printf. That is where the words/phrases after 4th feild gets erased.

My code is:
Line="# IN01379 Larry ...

The input line is given below:
# IN01379 Larry 2010/03/17 (should be the same as FIW-LR AM)

The desired output is:
# IN01379 Larry 2010/04/26 (should be the same as...

NEW_LINE=$(echo $Line | awk '{sub ($4, '$REPL_DT');...

The output in the tmp file should be the same with the 4th feild changed. I am using sed to replace the existing line with the new line. When the new line has dates in the format 'yyyy/mm/dd' sed...

Thanks very much. It works. But I got into another problem.
