Insert text file at a certain line.
I need to insert a file called temp_impact (which has about 15 lines in it) to a file called 11.23cfg starting at line 33. I searched the forums and found the

sed '34i\
test' 11.23cfg > newfile

That will enter word test at the appropriate line, but i need the entire file dumped there. Any help would be appreciated. This is on an HP system so no bash shell is avalible, just sh. Is there anyway to do this with sed or is there a better way to insert it all together.
