Data find a word in a file, and change a word beneath it ??
Hi all,

I have a file with lines written somewhat like this.

Code:
aaaa
ccc
aa
linux
browse = no
xssxw
cdcedc
dcsdcd
csdw
police
dwed
dwd
browse = no


cdecec
dsdc
cdc
wd

wdcew
dwed
market
browse = yes

dwdw
wedwe
we

I would like to search word police (which is in middle of file)
and then change the line from browse = no to browse = yes which is after two lines from the word police.

Pls help... I am not so advanced in scripting.

Thanks in advance,
Vikas

avahi-browse

avahi-browse(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   avahi-browse(1)

NAME

       avahi-browse - Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD services using the Avahi daemon

SYNOPSIS

       avahi-browse [options] service-type

       avahi-browse [options] --all

       avahi-browse [options] --browse-domains

       avahi-browse [options] --dump-db

       avahi-browse-domains [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Browse  for  mDNS/DNS-SD  network  services  and browsing domains using the Avahi daemon. The daemon is not the standard Avahi daemon but a
       proxy to a Bonjour daemon.

OPTIONS

       Specify a DNS-SD service type (e.g. _http._tcp) to browse for on the command line, or -a to browse for all available service  types.  Items
       that  appear  on  the  network  are  prefixed  with  "+", items that disappear are prefixed with "-". If --resolve is passed items that are
       resolved are prefixed with "=".

       -a | --all
	      Browse for all service types registered on the LAN, not just the one specified on the command line.

       -D | --browse-domains
	      Browse for browsing domains instead for services. avahi-browse-domains is equivalent to avahi-browse --browse-domains

       -d | --domain= DOMAIN
	      Browse in the specified domain. If omitted avahi-browse will browse in the default browsing domain (usually .local)

       -v | --verbose
	      Enable verbose mode.

       -t | --terminate
	      Terminate after dumping a more or less complete list.

       -c | --cache
	      Terminate after dumping all entries available in the cache.

       -l | --ignore-local
	      Ignore local services, show only remote services.

       -r | --resolve
	      Automatically resolve services found.

       -f | --no-fail
	      Don't fail if the daemon is not found running. Instead, wait until it appears. If it disconnects, try to reconnect.

       -p | --parsable
	      Make output easily parsable for usage in scripts. If enabled fields are seperated by semicolons (;), service names are  escaped.	It
	      is recommended to combine this with --no-db-lookup.

       -k | --no-db-lookup
	      Don't lookup services types in service type database.

       -b | --dump-db
	      Dump the service type database (may be combined with -k)

       -h | --help
	      Show help.

       -V | --version
	      Show version information.
