Pattern|Action|Meaning
/^Chocolate/|{$4=5}|For a line starting with "Chocolate", set the fourth field to "5"

It means on the line starting with Chocolate replace the first occurrence of the pattern with 5. The pattern is [^:]*, which means 0 or more occurrences (*) of any character that isn't ":"

:b:
sed '/^Chocolate/{/:/s/12/5/4}' inputfile > outfile
Change the last number (here) 4, according to the position of 12 you want to change

Not that ugly :)
sed '/^Chocolate/s/[^:]*/5/5' file
(4th 12 is the fifth field, right?)

You're right. I never remember that thing :D

Well, I never saw that question coming ;) :D

sed starts getting ugly when you try to do this stuff.


$ awk -F: '/^Chocolate/ {$4=5}1' OFS=: file1
Chocolate:12:12:5:12:12:12:12

$ cat file1
(Product:Price:QuantityAvailable) (: as delimiter)
Chocolate:5:5
Banana:33:3

$ sed "/^Chocolate/ s/[^:]*$/14/" file1
(Product:Price:QuantityAvailable) (: as delimiter)...

Depending on how exactly you want to edit:
If you want to change all line having "Chocolate:5:5" to "Chocolate:5:10"

sed 's/Chocolate:5:5/Chocolate:5:10/'


OR change all lines "Banana:33:3"...

Yes, in the case of bash use the second option...

You're welcome! If you have ksh93 (which is the only shell with floating point arithmetic) use:
totalsales=$((price * qtysold))otherwise:
totalsales=$(echo "$price * $qtysold" | bc)
