So search for "police"; when found, change the "state". If in this special state, and the line starts with "browse", print out our special version instead and skip to the next line (skipping the next step). The trailing 1 is the next step which always prints out the current line.


thanks a lot,
will try this code & revert.

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.

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 separated 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.
