Shell Script

[vidhya subramaniam]

I want to write a shell script that will search for a string and replace it with another string. Is there any command in K shell that can do this operation. I need to replace http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.1.008/cXML.dtd"with a local file specification.
Thanks,
Vidhya.

It depends a bit where you want to replace the string(s). The obvious choice is "sed" :-
sed 's$http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.1.008/cXML.dtd$whatever$g' <oldfile.xml >newfile.xml
should do the trick. Try "man sed" for more details. If that's not what you want, please let us know a few more details about the files you want to change, and maybe we can give a bit more help.
