How to replace a single similar line only AFTER a match
I am trying to search for a specific item [7_addons] and ONLY replace the NEXT entry that appears from enabled=0 to enabled=1.
in this example:
sed -i -e 's#enabled=0#enabled=1#g' /etc/file.txt
..replaces EVERYTHING showing enabled=0 in file.txt, but I ONLY want it to replace what comes next after the search string "7_addons", replace =0 with =1, then STOP.
Any help is appreciated.
