If we want to replace occurance of a character/string by another character/string provided that character/string occur anywhere in the the file.

Is it neccessary that for this type of operation file must be of fixed block or we can do this thing with variable block also.

amitthorat,

Please post Using meaningful topics. Don't use the Forum name for the topic. A more approriate title for your post "Replace a string with another anywhere in a file" instead of one word title "sort". I am editing the topic title.

Also please search before posting. The replacing of one character by another character has been discussed many times. You can replace the characters in both Fixed block and variable block files.
