Appending line with sed works on Linux but not on Solaris
Hi folks, Our application installation uses "sed" command to append string after specific line or after line number. Both cases work perfect on Linux but fail on Solaris. The OS versions are Solaris 9 and Linux Red Hat AS 3. i.g: Linux: ----- file foo.txt Code:
aaa bbb ccc ddd Code:
root# uname -s Linux root# sed '2a\Add this line after line 2\' foo.txt aaa bbb Add this line after line 2 ccc ddd Code:
root# sed '/bbb/ a\Add this line after bbb' foo.txt aaa bbb Add this line after bbb ccc ddd Sun Solaris ----------- Code:
root# uname -s SunOS root# sed '/bbb/ a\Add this line after bbb' foo.txt sed: command garbled: /bbb/ a\Add this line after bbb Code:
root# sed '2a\Add this line after line 2\' foo.txt aaa bbb ccc ddd As you can see,sed works fine on Linux but not on Solaris. Is there a different in sed syntax between platforms? Thanks in advance, Nir |

The problem is the same for AIX You must have a new line after the \ Code:
sed '2a\ Add this line after line 2' foo.txt or sed '2a\^JAdd this line after line 2' foo.txt ^J is inserted with ^V+^J |

Hi aigles, Thanks for your reply. Both suggestions failed: Code:
root# sed '2a\Add this line after line 2' foo.txt sed: command garbled: 2a\Add this line after line 2 root# sed '2a\^JAdd this line after line 2' foo.txt sed: command garbled: 2a\^JAdd this line after line 2 Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance, Nir |

For the first solution don't forget the newline after 2a\.
\ MUST be the last character of the line. The second part of the command must be in a second line. root# sed '2a\ Add this line after line 2' foo.txt |
