Did you try the sed command that was posted earler ?

Code:
sed -e 's/\(INI_TEST\) YES/\1 NO/g' setup.ini > setup.ini.new

YES, it works. I want to confirm if there is any much easier way to do that or not.

$ cat setup.ini

$ awk '$1=="INI_TEST"{$2="NO"}{a[NR]=$0}END{close(FILENAME);for(i=1;i<=NR;i++)print a[i]>FILENAME}' setup.ini

$ cat setup.ini
INI_START YES

There must be a blue moon tonight! This actually looks more readable in perl!
Code:
$ cat setup.ini
INI_START YES
INI_END YES
INI_TEST YES
$ perl -pi -e 'if ($_ =~ /^INI_START/) {s/YES/NO/}' setup.ini
$ cat setup.ini
INI_START NO
INI_END YES
INI_TEST YES
$
