Changing the first occurrence after matching a pattern
Hi,

I got a file which looks like this:
Code:
Value A

Status: -
Other: -

Value B

Status: -
Other: -

Value C

Status: -
Other: -

I would like to change only the first line which includes the "Status:" string after matching the line containing "Value B", so the output file should look like this:
Code:
Value A

Status: -
Other: -

Value B

Status: PASSED
Other: -

Value C

Status: -
Other: -

Thanks in advance

errors(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							 errors(4)

NAME

       errors - Contains a record of uucico daemon errors

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/errors

DESCRIPTION

       The /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/errors file contains a record of uucico daemon errors that the uucp program cannot correct.  For example, if the
       uucico daemon is unable to access a directory that is needed for a file transfer, the uucp program records this in  the	errors	file.	If
       debugging is enabled for the uucico daemon, the uucp program sends the error messages to standard output instead of to the errors file.

EXAMPLES

       Following   is  the  text  of  an  error  that  might  appear  in  the  errors  file:  ASSERT ERROR (uucico) pid: 303 (7/18-8:25:09)  SYS-
       TAT OPEN FAIL /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/ (21) [SCCSID: @(#)systat.c   7.2 87/07/08 16:43:37, FILE: systat.c, LINE:100]

       This error occurred on July 18 at 8:25:09 a.m.  [(7/18-8:25:09)] when the uucico daemon, running as process 303 [(uucico) pid: 303],  could
       not  open  the  /usr/spool/uucp/.Status directory [SYSTAT OPEN FAIL /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/].  To prevent this error from occurring again,
       you should make sure the permissions for the .Status directory are correct.  It should be owned by the uucp login ID and group  uucp,  with
       permissions of 777 (read, write, and execute for owner, group, and all others).

FILES

       Contains  the  errors file and other uucp administrative files Lists the last time a remote system was contacted and the minimum time until
       the next retry
