Shell Programming and Scripting
Search and replace sed or tr

The problem with these suggestions is that they are intended to be used on text files. The operative definition of text file is a collection of lines. The OP does not have a file that is a collection of lines nor would he have one if he succeeds in doing what he wants.
If I really had to solve this this problem, I would write a special purpose C program. I'm not a perl expert, but I strongly suspect that perl could also handle this problem.
Any perl programmers out there?

I am hoping someone can provide some guidance on using context based search and replace to search for a pattern and then do a search and replace in the line that follows it. For example, I have a file that looks like this:
