Oops, I missed something. I need to be able to specify the section. i.e. [import]

Is there a command line tool that will let me modify the value of a

The file is layed out like:

[import]
filename = /home/blah/blah
starttime = 16:00



I'm sure a couple of lines of perl could do it. At the very least:

perl -p -i -e 's/^starttime.*$/starttime = 17:00/' bar.cfg
