Replace string2 with string3 on all lines starting with string1
My OS is Windows 10 and I am using Cygwin.
The file 1 content is:
USE solution 2; -4.000
USE solution 3; -4.000
…
USE solution 29; -4.000
USE solution 30; -4.000
USE solution 31; -4.000
….
USE solution 89; -4.000
...
USE solution 202; -4.000
etc...
I need to replace string2(-4.000) with string3(-2.000) on all lines starting with string1(USE solution 2, USE solution 3, …USE solution 29) but the other lines don't have to be changed.
I wrote the following script which does it, but only for the first line:
I am looking for a way to use this sed function in a loop where I could say:
If USE solution i (i=2 to 29), then do the replacement.
Being a newbie, I don't have experience at all with loops, sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

How will I perform the same sed command and only substitute... (3 Replies)

Hello All...
I have a text file (.ics) which I need to read into a variable but ONLY the part including and after 'BEGIN:VEVENT' and ending with END:VEVENT
Anything before BEGIN:VEVENT or after END:VEVENT should be ignored.
Thanks for input
