Re: Inserting Text In Specific Location Using Shell Script

Never actually had to do it myself (I would use Perl) but this
seems to work

cat myfile | sed -e "/#comment 2/aFirst line\nSecond Line"

Hello,

I am running a script on about 30 machines and need to insert
text after a specific comment. For example:

#comment 1

#comment 2

#comment 3

I want to add text after #comment 2, on a new line. I have
been trying to work with both sed and awk but no success. This
has to be done in bash or sh and cannot be done in any other
language. Any ideas? --
