Greetings,
	I have a file as below

LobFile.txt

1|Charles|test.001.0.1313|123|test.001.0.1423
1|Charles|test.001.1313.3415|243|test.001.1423.3423

Here exp.001.0.1313 and others like it, is a file name with exp.001 as
the name of the file
and 0 as the starting and 1313 as the ending byte position.
This file name appears randomly in many places within the main
file(LobFile.txt)
having exp.001 as common name with all.

I know the grep command can give me those lines where this name appears
but then I don't know at which position within the line that word
appears because I need to go to that position in order to fetch and
make some modification to that name.

I just need a way to line by line search the entire file, fetching that
name whenever it appears, making some modifications and moving further.


I hope I made myself clear. Any help will be appreciated. 


It's not really clear, but start with this:

awk -F\| '/exp.001/{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) if ($i ~ /exp.001/) print NR, i, $i}' LobFile.txt

and let us know what needs to be different.
