I have a ini file containing Headers with respective property fields to it. For a given Header2 and a property2 how do I append AppendedValue to the property2 by either using sed or awk?
There may be N number of Headers and order of Headers need not be 1, 2 or 3.
Input File1 :
[Header1]
property1 = containsSomeValue
property2 = containsSomeValue
property3 = containsSomeValue
[Header2]
property1 = containsSomeValue
property2 = containsSomeValue
property3 = containsSomeValue
[Header3]
property1 = containsSomeValue
property2 = containsSomeValue
property3 = containsSomeValue
Output File1:
[Header1]
property1 = containsSomeValue
property2 = containsSomeValue
property3 = containsSomeValue
[Header2]
property1 = containsSomeValue
property2 = containsSomeValue AppendedValue
property3 = containsSomeValue
[Header3]
property1 = containsSomeValue
property2 = containsSomeValue
property3 = containsSomeValue

Using sed:
sed "/[Header2]/,/[//^property2/ s/$/ AppendedValue/" infile
This will look for the lines between [Header2] and [ (which would be the start character of next unknown Header), then append the AppendedValue string to the end of a line if started with property2; the sed-script part only applies for the block matched within given patterns range, and other lines out of this range will be printed with no changes which is sed's default action.
You can use above in this way too:
sed "/[Header2]/,/[/s/^property2.*/& AppendedValue/" infile
If you want to be more specific:
sed "/^[Header2]/,/^property2//^property2/ s/$/ AppendedValue/" infile
