Bash string range and replace
To print part of the string, replace , with . I use command:
echo "${q:16:6}" | sed 's/,/./'
Is it possible to use something like:
echo "${q:16:6/,/.}"
because it does not work?
bash sed variable replace

You can't stack/nest parameter expansion in Bash, so not even
echo "${${q:16:6}/,/.}"
will work. (Nested expansions like that do work in Zsh, though.)
If you want to stay within Bash, you'll need to use a temporary variable:
foo="${q:16:6}"
echo "${foo/,/.}"
