Kernel development Script

linuxdev · 02-06-2004, 12:48 PM

I wonder how can I do the following in my script:

-> Change the value of one variable...when this variable
in present in some other file.......I have the idea to replace
particuler value using replace and subsitute option
:4 s/testing/tested...........

but my problem is how to get into file having this variable
to be changed and then save the changes while exiting
from that file...

Any clue?
Thanks for your insight

"Any clue?"

I think that the heart of your script will probably be a sed command. Here is the sed command man page.
