Re: Replacing a pattern in one file by reading a string from anotherfile

Hi ,
        I found out another way(though quite lame , i  admit) to do this 
same thing :-

paste 2 3 | sed 's/:/ /g' | awk '{print $3,":",$2}' 
(Here we can always replace the awk part by the sed equivalent)

File 2 contains :

username:SAPextract
password:$$$$$
Monthtoextract: October

and File 3 contains :

RunasUser: $username
RunasPsswd: $password
RunMonth: $Monthtoextract

(Please note that the purpose of this posting is not to better the 
solution posted by Tim ; this is just to suggest another alternative.)

regards,
Kaushik
