How to search and replace multiple number sequences in a file using bash
I have a file with a lot of lines, for example:
dog:7066469:182:0:0:7050964:7087402:7058396:7079290:7087537
cat:7066469:182:0:0:7050964:7087402:7058396
dog:7066469:182:0:0:7050964:7087402:7058396:7079290
Using bash programming (sed or awk or whatever) how can I add 6 before each number after the 5th ":", only lines starting with "cat:"? The correct result will be as follows:
dog:7066469:182:0:0:7050964:7087402:7058396:7079290:7087537
cat:7066469:182:0:0:67050964:67087402:67058396
dog:7066469:182:0:0:7050964:7087402:7058396:7079290
