Replacing partial content of a file.
Hi All,
Please help me in the below issue.I had a file called env.prop.In that i need to change service.url.If i select chocie 2.

it should come as https://dev2.ecif.info53.com:30102/soap/default

30102 port is not fixed .It varies when the file is updated.So i want to keep orginal port in the orginal file.

Sample files:
Code:
cat env.prop
ffusion.bpwServices.url=https://history.info53.com:${port.prefix}43/bw/services^M
ffusion.bpwServices.username=
ffusion.bpwServices.password=[ENC]4D97EE8B41F0CD7703041EBAD31924AFXB1447B48^M
service.url=https://dev3.ecif.info53.com:30102/soap/default
Another file like below:
cat env.prop
ffusion.bpwServices.url=https://history.info53.com:${port.prefix}43/bw/services^M
ffusion.bpwServices.username=
ffusion.bpwServices.password=[ENC]4D97EE8B41F0CD7703041EBAD31924AFXB1447B48^M
service.url=https://dev2.ecif.info53.com:30002/soap/default

like many files..

My code:I not able to capture the port from original file..
Code:
if [ ${choice2} = "1" ]
then
ECIFSERVER=dev1.ecif.info53.com
elif [ ${choice2} = "2" ]
then
ECIFSERVER=dev2.ecif.info53.com
elif [ ${choice2} = "3" ]
then
ECIFSERVER=dev3.ecif.info53.com
else
   echo "Invalid choice... Please run the script again and choose a valid option"
    echo " "
    exit 1
fi
 
LINE=`cat environment.properties | grep ^service.url=`
sed s!${LINE}!service.url=https://${ECIFSERVER}:xxxxx/soap/default!g environment.properties > tmp.properties
mv -f tmp.properties environment.properties

Let me know you had any questions.

I am unix AIX machine.
I am using /usr/bin/ksh

What output are you hoping to produce from your two sample input files?

try with nawk (instead of your sed command )

Code:
nawk -F: -v url="$ECIFSERVER" 'BEGIN{OFS=":"}/service.url/{$2=url}1' environment.properties > tmp.properties
