You can do that using, among others, sed.

If the word is in a variable, you can do it natively using the shell, as you could for a file, without sed.

But, as you're using C-shell, that's probably not possible Smilie

cat is not necessary there, since sed can read the file without any help

Quote:
cat empl.txt | sed 's/Ali/Mali'
Code:
sed 's/Ali/Mali/' empl.txt

It sends the whole file with the changes made to stdout (screen)

Code:
sed -n 's/Ali/Mali/p' empl.txt

It sends only the lines changed to stdout


Code:
sed 's/Ali/Mali/' empl.txt > empl.txt.new && mv empl.txt{.new,}

It sends the processed data to a new file named empl.txt.new and then deletes the old file and rename the new as the old file
