(1) Yes but how is this block different from the other 24? You will need this information in order to identify and replace this block correctly (out of the 25).
Ans: The 1st line and last line of this block are unique from other block.
The 1st line is �rem Subset Rows (&&tempName.*) and
The last line is �WHERE testvalue is not null�. Through this way I can identify this block.
(2) Are all the blocks identical? If so, which block do you want replaced? The 1st, 2nd, 25th? Or all?
Ans: Not all block are identical only few of them are identical. The block which I want to replace is not present in this file (xyz_abc.sql). I want to find this identical block from xyz_abc.sql and then replace the block which is present in another file called repl_file.sql.
The xyz_abc.sql file contains 25 blocks. In xyz_abc.sql file I need to identify the following 5 lines block.
rem Subset Rows (&&tempName.)
CREATE VIEW &&tempName. AS
SELECT *
FROM &&tempName.*
WHERE testvalue is not null.
And then replace with following block which is present in repl_file.sql. This repl_file.sql contains only one block.
rem Subset Rows (&&tempName.)
CREATE VIEW &&tempName. AS
SELECT STUDYID STUDYID, DOMAIN DOMAIN, USUBJID USUBJID, ggg(y) ABSEQ,

X25, X26 X26, X27 X27, X28 X28, X29 X29, X30 X30
FROM &&tempName.*
WHERE testvalue is not null
The 1st line and last of this block is unique. thru this way can identify.
Not all the blocks are identical only few of them is identical. The block which i want replace is not present in xyz_abc.sql.
can we do this way.
my target file should be removed the identical block from xyz_abc.sql file and replace with repl_file.sql file block.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance
