UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

Ugh, Ok thank you. I made some updates:

My script (rok.sh)

Code:

#!/bin/bash
ROK_NO=$1
RPT=/tmp/test
sed -E '/^SELECT/ s/(.{22}).{7}/\1'"$ROK_NO"'/' '$RPT'
#sed -E '/^SELECT/ s/(.{22}).{7}/\12388055/' '/tmp/test'

My file (/tmp/test)

Code:

SELECT: ROK_NUMBER EQ 2388085

When I run the command in terminal

Code:

$ sed -E '/^SELECT/ s/(.{22}).{7}/\12388123/' '/tmp/test'
SELECT: ROK_NUMBER EQ 2388123
$

When I run the script from terminal

Code:

$ bash rok.sh 2388123
: No such file or directory
$

Thanks for taking a look. I'm not sure what else I can do explain.

Ok I will try that. I am using Textpad on my Windows PC then FTP the script file over to a Linux server where I'm trying to execute the script. I was just looking at this and was wondering what it all meant

Dang man, that definitely did the trick. I didn't think I could mess up 2 variables and it was really making me sad. You saved the day -- thank you!
