I want to change the content as
If it is single file i can do it in vi editor using find and replace options but i am having n number of files like this i need a shortcut to replace all at once
Done with GNU awk (gawk); if you get problems try using nawk instead. To process many files, use a for-loop or something similar around this and redirect the output with a > to a temporary file. You will have to mv the temporary file of course or use sed -i or perl -i to edit the files in place without using a temporary file.
Edit:
Just read the subject again - you don't want to modify the original, then just redirect the output to a new filename.
True, just rolled over the dot:
Already written how to modify the file. If your sed has a -i switch, then use it or try any of the alternatives that have been described.
I don't know csh, so I'll leave the looping to you, but here's an approach that edits the files in place.
It looks for the first dot in the record and replaces any digits that precede it (if any).
