  Replacing string in nth line #1  rahulranjith at 21:19 on Wednesday, June 04, 2008
 

Hello All,

In shell scripting, How to replace a string in nth line of a file using sed or awk.

For Ex: test.txt

Line 1 : TEST1 TEST2 TEST3
Line 2 : TEST1 TEST2 TEST3 TEST4
Line 3 : TEST1 TEST2 TEST3 TEST5
Line 4 : TEST1 TEST2 TEST3 TEST6
Line 5 : TEST1 TEST2 TEST3 TEST7

i want to go to 4th line of a file and replace the word TEST2 in that line with the word DEV2.

any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks

Rahul
