Code:
awk ' if(index($0,"feedthru_pin")>0) {printf("!!")}
        print $0 ' infile > outfile

thanks .. I used sed command it replaces with previous command

ls-VEC(VERILOG) gtfix11/avs_cs_done_cs_feedthru_pin[1:1];

ls was my previous command.

should I try

sed '/feedthru_pin/ s#.*#'!!'&#' infile > outfile

yes. I tried this.

sed '/feedthru_pin/ s#.*#'!!'&#' infile > outfile does not work.

I don't think this is what I put in post - please re-read.
Also for the future, please try elaborating on 'does not work'.
