How to change the word in the file in
aix?
Using the below commands we can change
the particular word in the file.
Note: we can replace the word and save into the other file. NOT on the target file itself. if we try to replace the word on the same file itself, the file will be nullified automatically.

sed "s/ <target_word> / <replacing_word> /g"
newfile > newfile-backup
In the above commands, we can replace
the word from test_old to test_new on the newfile.
Ex:
cat newfile
test_1
test_2
test_3
test_old
test_5
test_6
test_old
sed "s/test_old/test_new/g"
newfile > newfile_backup
cat newfile
test_1
test_2
test_3
test_new
test_5
test_6
test_new
On the above newfile, test_old has
been replaced by test_new. (So whereever the word "test_old" is there in the
file, it has been replaced by the new word "test_new")
