Line No. Name Age ID Number
1 Joan 14 2008-1521
2 Mike 14 2008-1623
3 Kyle 16 2007-1562
how will i PROMPT the user for the LINE NUMBER 1 and CHANGE the AGE??
please help me,,,
thank you very much
seems like homework for me..
i can give you an idea..
first ask user for line no store it in variable
then use sed or awk to get that line e.g sed -n '/$lineno/p'
then ask user the age change store it in a variable then use awk to replace it with old one
THANKS vidyadhar85 for your reply....

how am i to solve this one...
i hope u would still continue to help me... thank a lot my dear friend...
