Again I am attempting to alter configuration file via script.

I looked into jq but jq seems to support the .json format alone.

.vdf is almost exactly like .json except that there are no commas.

here is an attempt at what I want to do but with sed.

#!/bin/bash

text_to_find=' "9420"
 
 "LastPlayed" ".*"
 '
text_to_put=' "9420"
 
 "LastPlayed" "1554153269"
 "ViewedLaunchEULA" "1"
 "ViewedSteamPlay" "1"
 "BadgeData" "02000000080b"
 "LaunchOptions" "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%"
 '
sed -i "s|$text_to_find|$text_to_put|1" myTestFile 

that returns: "sed: -e expression #1, char 13: unterminated `s' command"

and it probably would fail to match Last played because I don't think in this context ".*" would still be interpreted.

here's an example of the test file :

shell-script shell sed jq
