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
