How to search and append words in a file
Hi ,

I have a file myhost.txt which contains below,

127.0.0.1 localhost
1.17.1.5 atrpx958
11.17.10.11 atrpx958zone nsybhost


I need to append words only after "atrpx958" like 'myhost' and 'libhost' and not after atrpx958zone.

How to search the word atrpx958 only in the file and append the words.

Kindly let me know.

Thanks,
Sree
