    Yeah I blundered.

    Isn't there a way to have sed replace "from here onward"?

    I know you can do: s/old/new/2

    which will replace the second occurrence but how about from the second
    occurrence on?

    like:
    s/old/new/2$ (that doesn't work but maybe you get the idea. The '$'
    means to end of line)

    -shawn

    Shawn,
    Thanks for the help.

    But one glitch, I need to output the whole line, not just the string
    after the $.

    109889-01 : 109353-04,109353-04 : : $ SUNWkvmx* SUNWkvm * SUNWctu*

    I need some scripting help please.

    I have a file which has the following output.
    I need to change the commas after the $ to a * (or any other character
    other than a comma).
    Only the commas after the $ need to be changed.

    109889-01 : 109353-04,109353-04 : : $ SUNWkvmx, SUNWkvm, SUNWctu,
    SUNWmdb

    Thanks in advance

    Prasad
