perl -p -i -e "s/username\/password as SYSOPER/username\/##### as SYSOPER/g" <test.dat >test1.dat

Hi Jagan,
perl -p -i -e 's/username\/password as SYSOPER/username\/##### as
SYSOPER/g'
test.dat
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1. is the error I am getting
On Windows the single quote is not a valid quoting character for the shell (cmd.exe or command.com). Replace the single quote with a double quote and it should work fine.
perl -p -i -e "s/username\/password as SYSOPER/username\/##### as SYSOPER/g" test.dat
The problem happens when your Perl code contains quotes as well, but that's another topic... :-)
HTH,
J-S
