AWK / sed question 1

[purek77]

Hi.

I want to modify my aliases file.
File looks like this:

All.GFX.CityI: All.GFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Manager.GFX.CityI: Manager.GFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Cashier.GFX.CityI: Cashier.GFX.CityI@somedomain.com

All.GFX.CityII: All.GFX.CityII@somedomain.com
Manager.GFX.CityII: Manager.GFX.CityII@somedomain.com
Cashier.GFX.CityII: Cashier.GFX.CityII@somedomain.com

.
.
.

and so on...
We can say, that every block looks like:
All.GFX.<some string>: All.GFX.<some string>@somedomain.com
Manager.GFX.<some string>: Manager.GFX.<some string>@somedomain.com
Cashier.GFX.<some string>: Cashier.GFX.<some string>@somedomain.com

Now, the 'GFX' string has changed for 'SFX' and
I need to change every 3-row part to 6-row part
(I need to preserve old email adressess):

All.GFX.CityI: All.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
All.SFX.CityI: All.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Manager.GFX.CityI: Manager.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Manager.SFX.CityI: Manager.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Cashier.GFX.CityI: Cashier.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Cashier.SFX.CityI: Cashier.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com

Is there a way to do this in automated way ?

Thx PHV. Almost that what I need
After this command output looks like this:

All.GFX.CityI: All.GFX.CityI@somedomain.com
All.SFX.CityI: All.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Manager.GFX.CityI: Manager.GFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Manager.SFX.CityI: Manager.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Cashier.GFX.CityI: Cashier.GFX.CityI@somedomain.com
Cashier.SFX.CityI: Cashier.SFX.CityI@somedomain.com

We only need to change second GFX to SFX in oryginal lines...

Oops, misread the post.
awk '/GFX/{gsub(/GFX/,"SFX");print;sub(/SFX/,"GFX")}1' aliasesfile > newfile

Hope This Helps, PH.
