Sed options
I have a file with name input_file.spec.

This file has records like:


Record #: 1

rec_len = 590
rec_id = 31229
filler_4 = " "
orig_id = 902162988
seqnum = 138960799
lrnid = "0"
l_ind = "0"
transaction_cnt = 1
cust_id = 61032336
product_id = 135488621

ans so on.

It has 1000 records in this file.

I have to give new numbering to seqnum field only.
i am gogin to start with 1 and ll end with 1000.

I worte this:

#!/bin/ksh
i=1
echo "Give input file"
INPUTFILES=input_file.spec
cat $INPUTFILES | while read LINE
do
let i=i+1
sed -e '/seqnum/s/seqnum = [0-9]*/seqnum = '$i'/g' $LINE
done


but the "i" is not getting interpolated event when its reading line by line.

Can u please tell any option in unix to do the same.
or alternative to do the same business.

in your sed command, try replacing single quotes with double quotes

and you have to take care of escaping (characters such as < " * etc) then
