You could try:
But you would also need to adjust the ID in the last column, no?
Perhaps sed:
I tried both the codes.
The first awk code did makethe necessary changes in 3rd column but didnt do the ID change.
As per your advice the 2nd sed command will help in making the changes in ID.
However the 2nd sed command just replaced the entire line having assumption in 3rd column with a line having predictive in 3rd column
I wanted to add a line which has the same contents as line of assumption but change in ID value.
(ddint want to remove the already existing line. )
I hope its not confusing.

Thanks a lot though.
I am not sure I understand what you mean. The 2nd command does not replace but adds a "predictive" line:
The command uses two lines the first line ends with a \ as the last character on the line.
Some sed's may be able to do this:

This User Gave Thanks to Scrutinizer For This Post:
To add on to my previous query,I have some additional questions using the code
In my file, I have some instance where there are variants for the id name :For example One variant of id is f000012.1 and the other is f000012.2
File looks like this
Using the mentioned command adds 2 lines
---------- Post updated at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:35 PM ----------
Instead of two separate predictive lines for same id ,
Is there a way I could only a single line with predictive with using the earliest start point ie : and farthest away end point to represent the predictive statement?
The ID should have only the name without the variants like this
This should happen only for cases having variants of IDS ie have two ids one with.1 and .2
For other cases,it should follow the normal procedure of just adding a single line
Can this be possible?
