Sorry for the off topic, but don't a better resource. I'm not great at scripting, but need a quick script to modify a file.

I have a long file that has lines like this:

some text some text2 CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO some text3 some text4

And this repeats, but XYZ changes. "DATA" is always called data. (it's being renamed basically)

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

Anyone know a quick way to do this? Any help is appreciated.

cat file | sed -e's/CN=DATA.OU=(.*).O=CO/CN=\1_DATA.OU=\1.O=CO/'
