how to change the variable in the file

Hi all,

I have problem regarding how to change the quantity in the file.

I will explain you by an example.

I have one file whose name is sample. The content of file are as follows:
sample
-----------------------------------------------------------
1 334 3562 2345
5324 85657 75666 845 7456 74 634
8 12 1 4315 1 42 11 452 421 12
42 4 54 21 1 12 43 21 42 42 524 31
225 42 1 1 32 1 1 3 0 9 8 23 2 53 54
-----------------------------------------------------------
I have to change number 5324 from the file whose location is first element in the second line. After changing the number I run one more program after that. I have to change that number by 20 times. I have to change number by 0.1*$i(where 'i' is the looping variable which will vary 0 to 20).

I have written one shell script for that but its not at all changing the value of the variable.

the script is as follows
------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh


for (( j = 1 ; j <= 4; j++ )) ### for loop ###
do

sed '2c\ 85657 75666 845 7456 74 634 0.1*$j ' sample > inf

./test inf

wait
done

-------------------------------------------------------------------
here ./test one the executable.

Please help me out.

Thanks in advanced.

GLGETMULTISAMPLEFV(3G)						  [FIXME: manual]					    GLGETMULTISAMPLEFV(3G)

NAME
glGetMultisamplefv - retrieve the location of a sample C SPECIFICATION
void glGetMultisamplefv(GLenum pname, GLuint index, GLfloat *val); PARAMETERS
pname Specifies the sample parameter name. pname must be GL_SAMPLE_POSITION. index Specifies the index of the sample whose position to query. val Specifies the address of an array to receive the position of the sample. DESCRIPTION
glGetMultisamplefv queries the location of a given sample. pname specifies the sample parameter to retrieve and must be GL_SAMPLE_POSITION. index corresponds to the sample for which the location should be returned. The sample location is returned as two floating-point values in val[0] and val[1], each between 0 and 1, corresponding to the x and y locations respectively in the GL pixel space of that sample. (0.5, 0.5) this corresponds to the pixel center. index must be between zero and the value of GL_SAMPLES - 1. If the multisample mode does not have fixed sample locations, the returned values may only reflect the locations of samples within some pixels. ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not one GL_SAMPLE_POSITION. GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if index is greater than or equal to the value of GL_SAMPLES. SEE ALSO
