sed command to skip the first line during find and replace operation
Hi Gurus,

I did an exhaustive search for finding the script using "sed" to exclude the first line of file during find and replace.
The first line in my file is the header names.

Thanks for your help..

Code:
sed '2,$s/PATTERN1/PATTERN2/' filename

Code:
awk 'NR==1{print}NR>1{sub(/PATTERN1/,"PATTERN2");print}' filename
