  Do you need to change an 'a' in a literal regex, by Esteis2007-05-18 06:39:13
    I need to change the literal A in a regex by SnArL2007-05-18 06:43:46
      Okay, so that's the first example. by Esteis 2007-05-18 06:49:03
How about

s/A\([0-9]\{6\}\)/a\1/

Broken down: 

s/                  # to find:
    A                 # starts with a capital 'A'
    \(                # capture the number, we'll need it later
        [0-9]\{6\}    # six-digit number
    \)
 /                  # and replace it with:
    a                 # a lowercase 'a' at the start
    \1                # and the same number
 /
