How to replicated records using sed

Russ · #1 (**permalink**) 11-12-2008

I need to generate exactly 102 duplicates in a file using sed.

Here's an example of my input:
Grid-ref = 1, 148
Grid-ref = 1, 311
Grid-ref = 1, 428

I need:
Grid-ref = 1, 148
Grid-ref = 1, 148
Grid-ref = 1, 148
Grid-ref = 1, 148
... repeated 102 times, then
Grid-ref = 1, 311
Grid-ref = 1, 311
Grid-ref = 1, 311
... repeated 102 times, then record 3, etc.

Any ideas using either sed (preferably), awk or ksh?

thanks

Code:

 awk '{for(i=1;i++<=v;)print}' v=102 file
