Replacing Strings in a File
I have a input file which looks like this:

Code:
Value1=""
Value2=""
Value3=""

ListOfValues=" $Value1 $Value2 $Value3"

I have another program which computes the values ($val1, $val2, $val3). So if $val1 is 'A', $val2 is 'B' and $val3 is 'C', I should edit the input file so it will look like:

Code:
Value1="A"
Value2="B"
Value3="C"

ListOfValues=" $Value1 $Value2 $Value3"

Note that Value1, Value2 and Value3 are fixed variable names. If possible, I dont want to use intermediate files.
