AIX Replace a substring

UNIX AIX

Hi,

I have a very simple problem but I am new to scripting and I cannot find a way around it.

I am using KSH.

I have a date say

001200AM

But i want to replace the first 00 to 12 so that the format will now be:

121200AM

Can anyone help me?

Is that how exactly your file looks like, Otherwise give a good sample file...

# echo 001200AM | sed 's/^00/12/'
121200AM
