What have you tried?

My crystal ball is a little bit fuzzy tonight...
  1. What operating system are you using?
  2. What shell are you using?
  3. How is this application supposed to guess at what the new com1 and sa1 values are supposed to be?
  4. How is this application supposed to convert typ in the existing file to type in the New file? Are you saying that no matter what is in the 2nd input file field, the corresponding output field should have a literal e character added to the end of the field's input value?
