Hi, I am trying to update one of my files and am having trouble updating the date. In my file I have: [a.aa] $$start=08/01/2004 $$end=07/31/2005 [a.bb] $$start=07/01/2004 $$end=06/30/2005
Based on aa or bb(within[])I have to update this file on start and end dates. I tried to use
sed "/$1/,/$/s/\$\$$2=.*$/\$\$$2=$3/1" infile where 1=aa or bb, 2 = start or end 3 is the date to be passed. Errors: 1)I am getting the parsing error if i use the date as mm/dd/yyyy, it works for mmddyyyy 2) I am able to change the value for $$end

Consider using a different delimeter character for sed.
sed -e "s,gre,p,"
