Hmmmmm....
One way of doing it would be:
1) Reverse the input line-by-line. That is, make last line as first, 2nd from last as 2nd and so on.
2) In the "reversed" file, for each section starting with "end" and ending with "type", replace the 1st pattern (\344) with the required string (\344\006). Replacing the "first" pattern is much easier than replacing the "last" pattern because you don't know what "last" is.
3) Reverse the file again.
Just an idea...feel awk could do it...would you try it?
