What pattern does the output follow ?

Is it ?

Lines containing a - will have ~ soon after that word is over
Lines not containing a - will have a ~ at the beginning.

Code:
sed -e "s/^\([^-]*\)$/~\1/g" -e "s/\([^-]*-[0-9]*\)/\1~/g;s/~ /~/g"  sample.txt

Bug File modification

Dear vino,
Thnax for ur reply but its not that what i want.
actually i want something like that
if one line contains only one number of field and having space before that field then the space will be replaced by the ~
if one line contains more that two field then ~ will be replaced between $1 (first field)and $2(second field) and the rest will be as it is...
this is what i want to do...
if line 1 contains
Mo12345
i want to replace that with

~Mo12345

if one line contains

00-01 cc=1

then output will be

00-01~cc=1

if one line contains

00-012 mrfm cc=1 L=15

then the output will be

00-012~mrfm cc=1 L=15

like this way

Thanks,
Regards,
Pankaj
