Replace other instances except the first one
Hi Friends,

This is my input

Code:
track type=alpha name="omega"
fixedStep chrom=chr10 name="omega"

track type=alpha name="omega"
fixedStep chrom=chr12 name="omega"
1212123

Now, my output should be

Code:
track type=alpha name="omega"
fixedStep chrom=chr10 name="omega"

fixedStep chrom=chr12 name="omega"
1212123

8789
4554

Basically, leave the first
Quote:
track type=
section. But, replace all other instances of it.

Any thoughts are highly appreciated.

A small hint is that each next line after the
Quote:
track type=
line starts with
Quote:
fixed
.

Thanks in advance

NAME

       ovp2ovf - convert a virtual property-list file into a virtual font file and its associated font metric file

SYNOPSIS

       ovp2ovf [OPTIONS] OVPFILE[.ovp] [OVFFILE[.ovf] [OFMFILE[.ofm]]]

DESCRIPTION

       ovp2ovf  translates  a  human-readable virtual property list (OVP) file, OVPFILE, into a virtual font (OVF) file, OVFFILE and its companion
       font metric (OFM) file, OFMFILE.

       The program also works with TeX VP files, producing VF and TFM files.  (ovp2ovf is based on the WEB source code for vptovf(1).)

OPTIONS

       -help  display a brief summary of syntax and options

       -verbose
              display progress reports

       -version
              output version information and exit

FILES

       OFMFILE
              Omega Font Metric file

       OVFFILE
              Omega Virtual Font file

       OVPFILE
              Omega Virtual Property List file

BUGS

       None known, but report any found to <omega@ens.fr> (mailing list).  You should also check to see if the bug is in vptovf(1).

AUTHOR

       According to the WEB documentation:

              VPtoVF is an extended version of the program PLtoTF, which is part of the standard TeXware library.  OVP2OVF is an extended  version
              of VPtoVF that allows much larger fonts.  The idea of a virtual font was inspired by the work of David R. Fuchs who designed a simi-
              lar set of conventions in 1984 while developing a device driver for ArborText, Inc.  He wrote  a  somewhat  similar  program  called
              PLFONT.
