I read that answer with interest. It does answer the OP's question.
But just on a side issue, why do we have to do this twice? Is it because the way sed works is that it will not reoperate on something it has just worked on in the same command?
i.e.
for the line:
|||
the command
works by doing | ||
and because the second | has been operated on, sed will not evaluate it, and therefore the new line containing || is not picked up. Is this right?
I want to change the false in Node 1 to true. How do I do that?

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
