i have a file with following data.
{
EqName "Tan 1"
....
....
}
{
EqName "Sin 2"
...
...
}
I have to replace the value of EqName to Tan_1 and Sin_2 in file.Can i use sed or awk ?
cat file|grep EqName|awk '{print $2 $3}'|sed -i 's//_/g'
I tried with this but it shows
sed: no input files
Can anyone help me?

There is (as is always the case) a number of ways of doing this. Here's one with awk:
awk -F'"' '/EqName/ { sub(" ", "_", $2) }1' file
{
EqName Tan_1
....
....
}
{
EqName Sin_2
...
...
}
And one way with sed:
sed -i '/EqName/{s/\(.*\) /\1_/}' file
