Code:
sed 's/71502FSC1206/\n&/g'   # add a carriage return to all lines starting with 71502FSC1206
sed '/^71502FSC1206/s/./F/127'   # add the letter F at position 127 in the line starting with 71502FSC1206

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).
