Hi Ygemici,

When I passed my actual directory/file names, its giving following error:

Code:
sed: The label :a;N;s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/\1\\n\2/;ta is greater than eight characters

I actually passed

s/dmp_file_lst/$(ls -1 /opt/epds/EPDSDV01/export_dump/$DMP_FILE_NM*.dmp|sed 's/.*\///;'|sed ':a;N;s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/\1\\n\2/;ta')/g

Please help with this error... also help me to understand your logic.

Thanks,
Manu

Try:
Code:
sed "
   s/dmp_file_nm/abc.dmp/g
   s:dmp_file_lst:$(res=$(printf '%s\\\n' /a/b/c/d*); printf "%s" "${res%?}"):
   s/log_file_nm/xyz.log/g"
