Well, actually, my problem is a part of a more complicated script; I
don't know in advance neither the column nor what to put there.
I currently have this
awk '
/TH/ {$'$pos'='$new'}
{print}
' inpch
where 'TH' plays a role of a guard, and $pos and $new are the field to
be changed and with what, respectively.
I am afraid this rules out sed.
Thanks
Ruda
