I want to replace any 3 or more digit string in a text file with equivalent number of *.For example: abc-1234-45 --> abc-****-45

You can use perl:
$ echo "abc-1234-45" | perl -pe 's/(d3,)/"*" x length($1)/eg'
abc-****-45
/e flag causes perl evaluate the right side as an expression before replacing.

GNU awk
echo 'abc-1234-45' |
awk --re-interval -v RS='[[:digit:]]3,' 'gsub(/[[:digit:]]/, "*", RT);
printf "%s%s", $0, RT'
abc-****-45
Or if you are willing to look at Python
echo 'abc-1234-45' | python -c 'import re; import sys; print re.sub(r"d3,",
lambda x: len(x.group())*"*", sys.stdin.readline().strip())'
