in this \n can be any where inside copy right stmt.
This should be replace with the following lines

I tried using the following commands
past="Copyright\s.*XXX Corporation\.[:word]*consent.[\s]"
pres='* Copyright (c) 2004 by YYY. All rights reserved.\
- This program contains proprietary and confidential information.'
sed "s/$past/$pres/" $fileName > fileMod
but it is not matching with copyright stmt in the file. can somebody correct this
