Hammer & Screwdriver Real-world example of sed usage
The following example:
(a) locates files at the 'src' variable
(b) uses variable 'jobnum' for work task number
(c) edits default work file located at 'src' named j99998.wrk
(d) changes all references to 99998 within the file to 'jobnum'
(e) saves the files with name j12345.wrk

Code:
src="/j1/client/"
jobnum="12345"
# add logic to only do what necessary
sed "s/99998/"$jobnum"/g;" $src"j99998.wrk" > "j"$jobnum".wrk"
