I am trying to replace string in the input parameter. Is something like
this possible? I am passing comma separated list of dirs and I have several
sub dirs that I need to read from individually in those dirs so that after
loading I can stored them as merged ouput
pig -p
input_path="/user/apuser/web-analytics/flume-output//2012/12/21/13/output,/user/apuser/web-analytics/flume-output//2012/12/21/14/output"
new_m.pig

%declare page_input_path REPLACE($input_path,"output","output/page")

%declare network_input_path REPLACE($input_path,"output","output/network")

Take a look at http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.10.0/cont.html#Parameter-Sub-
Specifying Parameters Using the Declare Statement.

You can do this in your case
%declare page_input_path `echo $input_path | sed 's/output/output\/page/g'`

Or you can use embedded python (
http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.10.0/cont.html#embed-python) to bind the
input and output after manipulating the parameters using python.
