Larry,
Thanks for the answer. Still having trouble making it work. Been looking
at sed for the last two hours. Let me give a specific example of a few
lines I would want to change:
Let's say my original lines are:
CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
CN=DATA.OU=XYY.OU=MEM.O=CO
CN=DATA.OU=XZZ.OU=OOP.O=CO
I want them to look like:
CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO
CN=XYY_DATA.OU=XYY.OU=MEM.O=CO
CN=XZZ_DATA.OU=XZZ.OU=OOP.O=CO
So I need to take the data after the FIRST OU and stick in front of DATA
with an _ in between. The rest of the line then remains the same.
Hope it makes sense. Appreciate the help!
Thanks,
James
