Bash script to count and insert

Hi not sure if this is possible but I need some help with a bash script, I have a text file and on the first line that starts with 7150230 I need it to put a 1 at position 79 and a 2 at position 88, this is where it gets complicated, on the next line it finds that starts with 7150230 I then need it to put a 3 at position 79 and a 4 at position 88, next line that starts with 7150230 a 5 at position 79 and a 6 at position 88 and so on.

Below is an example of what I need it to do

Code:
71502304541-000            B1                    000000000000300100000001800001        2                                    S   

71502304540-000            B2                    000000000000300100000000000003        4

71502304541-000            B1                    000000000000300100000001800005        6                                    S   

71502304540-000            B2                    000000000000300100000000000007        8

Your input data is like this?
Code:
71502304541-000            B1                    00000000000030010000000180000                                              S
some data
71502304540-000            B2                    00000000000030010000000000000
some more data
here are more
71502304541-000            B1                    00000000000030010000000180000                                              S

Then you could do
Code:
awk '/7150230/ {print substr($0, 1, 78) "" ++a substr($0, 80, 7) "" ++a substr($0, 89)};'
71502304541-000            B1                    000000000000300100000001800001       2                                    S

Hi Jotne,

There are other lines of data so this way won't work, unless there's a way to keep those lines in?

Thank you for the help, it is much appreciated

You may retain remaining lines using

Code:
awk '/^7150230/ {print substr($0, 1, 78) "" ++a substr($0, 80, 7) "" ++a substr($0, 89)} !/^7150230/ {print}' inputfile

Hi that's kind of working problem is when it gets into double digits it's moving everything after up a place, like its inserting an extra character rather than copying over. I have highlighted the problem below, thanks again for all the help.

Test if a>=10, use different value.
@krishmaths no need for print at the end, its default action.
Code:
awk '/7150230/ {print substr($0, 1, 78) "" ++a substr($0, 80, a>=10?6:7) "" ++a substr($0, a>=10?89:88)} !/^7150230/' file
