Sed command to find, manipulate and replace a number
Hi, Im very new to the world of sed so I'm really not even sure if this is possible. What i need to do is read from a flat file and every time i see this line:
VAL=123,456
I need to change 456 to 457 for every occurence of this line in the file. The numbers 123 and 456 are different for every instance of VAL. So basically i need to get VAL= skip the next value and grab the value after the "," and then add one to and subsitiute it back in.
Is it possible?
