Hi zulabc,

Another way:
Code:
$ cat infile
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/ade4^"
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/ban3^"
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/13_2^"
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/14_2^"
$ sed 's/\(\^\)/.txt\1/2' infile
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/ade4.txt^"
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/ban3.txt^"
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/13_2.txt^"
DEV=LONG^cmd/usr/bak/14_2.txt^"

Regards,
Birei
