Shalom sekar,

Some resourced for you:

http://unix.ittoolbox.com/topics/t.asp?t=429&p=429&h1=429

Good book:
http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/unix/sedawk/index.htm
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sed2/

http://psr.rice.edu/sed.html

In today's digital age, its still better to have a book to work with.

ITRC has a good database of specific questions on sed/awk scripts, if you use google to search it.



or



Good luck on your knowledge enhancement.

Hi Sekar:

I'd suggest, "Sed & Awk" by Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins, pulpished by O'Reilly.

You might also find the GNU manuals very useful:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/

http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/doc/

http://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html

The GNU versions of 'awk', 'grep' and 'sed' do offer some features that will not exist on native HP-UX, but the bulk of the material will be directly usable.

Regards!

Hi,
The best one is to reger this free-ebook

http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/unix/index.htm

Hope, this covers all parts of unix.

In my opinion the best desk reference is the O'Reilly book on Sed and awk. the second reference is "mastering regular expressions"
