I have a requirement to replace two strings at a time in a text file from within a BASH script.

SomeCommand ${FindString} ${ReplaceWithString}

Where…

"SomeCommand" is usable in a BASH 5 script on AIX 7.2

${FindString} is an OS environment variable

${ReplaceWithString} is an OS environment variable

The original file is updated, not just the command's buffer.

Hi,

This is a very basic shell script request.

Use the mv command and sed.

You should get some training, watch YouTube videos, get a friend that knows AIX or Linux or ask the question on Google.

Good luck, Nigel
