Unfortunately, your code isn't working for me.

You could please explain the commands?
Does FILENAME refer to value file?
Should it be written with quotes?

Thanks again

Try:

Code:
while read nr val ; do 
  sed -i.bak "s/^replace$/$val/" "test$nr"
done < infile

$val should not contain forward slashes...

I can not use "read" because in my value.file there are a lot of lines between the lines i want to read out:

114 1.2
.
.
233 2.8
.
.
665 1.4
....

Are there other ways?
