I have the following file which called list.txt. This file contain the following:
AA --> TX1
BB --> TX2
CC --> TX3
Also, I have the following file which called A.txt. which contain the following text
AA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX BB
XXXXXXXX CC
I would like to replace AA, BB, and CC with its equivalent values from the file list.txt, so the output is as follows:
TX1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX TX2
XXXXXXXX TX3
How can I do that?

You can do this:
#!/bin/bash
for i in AA BB CC;do
var=$(grep $i list.txt | awk 'print $2')
while read $i ; do
sed -i -e 's/'$i'/'$var'/g' A.txt;
done <A.txt
done
The output is as follows:
$cat A.txt
TX1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX TX2
XXXXXXXX TX3

The response above assumes that-->is not exist in the list file. If it is an actual column in the list then you have to replaceawk 'print $2'byawk 'print $3'.

This is very brittle, it's will fall if the strings contain bash, grep or sed special characters. The first is easily fixed with quoting, the later two not so easily

Oh Thank you so much I will test the script.

It don't work If I have special character for example IF_AAA-10.10.10.32-Host1.
