[Solved] Replace yesterday date with today's date except from the first line
Hello,
I have a file like this:
2012112920121130
12345620121130msABowwiqiq
34477420121129amABamauee
e7748420121130ehABeheheei
in case the content of the file has the date of yesterday within the lines containing pattern AB this should be replaced by the current date. But if I use "sed", it will replace all the occurrences and I want to leave the first line as it is.
How can I do that?
Any help is really appreciated.

gmtlogo
GMTLOGO(1gmt) Generic Mapping Tools GMTLOGO(1gmt)
NAME
gmtlogo - Adding a GMT graphics logo overlay to an illustration
SYNOPSIS
gmtlogo dx dy [ -Gfill ] [ -W[pen] ] >> plot.ps
DESCRIPTION
This scrips appends the GMT logo to an "open" PostScript file. The logo is 2 inches wide and 1 inch high and will be positioned with the
lower left corner at the position (dx,dy) relative to the current plot origin.
OPTIONS
-G Select color or pattern for filling the underlying box [Default is no fill]. (See SPECIFYING FILL below).
-W Set pen attributes for the outline of the box [Default is no outline]. (See SPECIFYING PENS below).
SPECIFYING PENS
pen The attributes of lines and symbol outlines as defined by pen is a comma delimetered list of width, color and texture, each of which
is optional. width can be indicated as a measure (points, centimeters, inches) or as faint, thin[ner|nest], thick[er|est],
fat[ter|test], or obese. color specifies a gray shade or color (see SPECIFYING COLOR below). texture is a combination of dashes
`-' and dots `.'.
SPECIFYING FILL
fill The attribute fill specifies the solid shade or solid color (see SPECIFYING COLOR below) or the pattern used for filling polygons.
Patterns are specified as pdpi/pattern, where pattern gives the number of the built-in pattern (1-90) or the name of a Sun 1-, 8-,
or 24-bit raster file. The dpi sets the resolution of the image. For 1-bit rasters: use Pdpi/pattern for inverse video, or append
:Fcolor[B[color]] to specify fore- and background colors (use color = - for transparency). See GMT Cookbook & Technical Reference
Appendix E for information on individual patterns.
SPECIFYING COLOR
color The color of lines, areas and patterns can be specified by a valid color name; by a gray shade (in the range 0-255); by a decimal
color code (r/g/b, each in range 0-255; h-s-v, ranges 0-360, 0-1, 0-1; or c/m/y/k, each in range 0-1); or by a hexadecimal color
code (#rrggbb, as used in HTML). See the gmtcolors manpage for more information and a full list of color names.
