Adding a columnfrom a specifit line number to a specific line number
Hi,
I have a huge file & I want to add a specific text in column. But I want to add this text from a specific line number to a specific line number & another text in to another range of line numbers.
To be more specific: lets say my file has 1000 lines & 4 Columns. I want to add text "Hello" to 5th column but from line 1 to line 200. & I want to add another text "goodbye" to 5th column of the same file from line 201 to 800 & another text "live" again to 5th column to the same file from line 801 to 1000.
I know I can use sed to add a column to my file but I don't know how to tell sed to add this column to from line & to to line.
this will add my desired string to the 4th column in the right place but I don't know how to limit this to a specific range of lines.
May be there is a way to do it in sed or may be awk?
