Hi All, I don't know if I should use sed for what I'm about to ask, but it seems like a good idea. If awk is better, or something else entirely, that's fine too. I have two files. File "1" looks like this: AA BB CC DD AA BB CC DD File "2" looks like this: BBBB1 BBBB2 BBBB3 So, "BB" in file "1" always occurs in the same spot (i.e. between lines AA and CC). Knowing that, how do I replace the first occurrence of "BB" in file "1" with "BBBB1" from file 2, the second occurrence of "BB" in file "1" with "BBBB2" from file 2, and so on? I think a bash 'for' or 'while' loop may be useful here, too. But, it's the sed/awk/whatever bits I don't know how to do. I've read some of the man/info page, looked up sed help on the net, etc. I'm still not sure how to do the above with sed. Thanks in advance! Regards, Ranbir
Probably it's not what you want, but I would prefer writing a 50 lines standard C program for that task...
