I have a long file that has lines like this: some text some text2 CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO some text3 some text4
I need to change the middle line but leave the rest of the file as is like this: some text some text2 CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO some text3 some text4
IFS="."; cat file | while read L; do set $L; if [ "$1" = "CN=DATA" ]; then P1=${1#CN=}; P2=${2#OU=}; echo "CN=${P2}_$P1.$2.$3"; else echo $*; fi; done
