Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SED- Insert text at top of file Post 23861 by MBGPS on Monday 1st of July 2002 12:08:54 PM

What about for the statement that appends data to the end of the file?

sed "$a\\
PR_DbConfigEnd $FILENAME " <$FILENAME >$TMPFILENAME

I get the error message:

sed: command garbled: \


If I remove the second backslash:

sed "$a\
PR_DbConfigEnd $FILENAME " <$FILENAME >$TMPFILENAME


I get this error message:

sed: command garbled: PR_DbConfigEnd test2.txt
