inserting a new line in a file
I'm sure you guys have answered this elsewhere but I can't seem to find where so here goes.

#!/bin/bash
n=120
a=$(sed '120q;d' energy.xvg)
while [ a != exit ];do
a=$(sed $n'q;d' energy.xvg)
echo "$a \n" > newfile
n=$(($n+100))
done
exit 0

that script should read the file energy.xvg, start at line 120, and copy every 100th line to newfile. The problem is that it only outputs to one line in the file and so every line overwrites the one before it. I want it to write to a new line each time.

g_enemat

g_enemat(1)					 GROMACS suite, VERSION 4.5.4-dev-20110404-bc5695c				       g_enemat(1)

NAME

       g_enemat - extracts an energy matrix from an energy file

       VERSION 4.5.4-dev-20110404-bc5695c

SYNOPSIS

       g_enemat  -f  ener.edr  -groups groups.dat -eref eref.dat -emat emat.xpm -etot energy.xvg -[no]h -[no]version -nice int -b time -e time -dt
       time -[no]w -xvg enum -[no]sum -skip int -[no]mean -nlevels int -max real  -min	real  -[no]coul  -[no]coulr  -[no]coul14  -[no]lj  -[no]lj
       -[no]lj14 -[no]bhamsr -[no]bhamlr -[no]free -temp real

DESCRIPTION

	 g_enemat  extracts an energy matrix from the energy file ( -f).  With	-groups a file must be supplied with on each line a group of atoms
       to be used. For these groups matrix of interaction energies will be extracted from the energy file by looking for energy groups with  names
       corresponding to pairs of groups of atoms, e.g. if your	-groups file contains:

	2

	Protein

	SOL

       then  energy  groups with names like 'Coul-SR:Protein-SOL' and 'LJ:Protein-SOL' are expected in the energy file (although  g_enemat is most
       useful if many groups are analyzed simultaneously). Matrices for different energy types are written out separately, as controlled by  the
       -[no]coul,   -[no]coulr,   -[no]coul14,	  -[no]lj,   -[no]lj14,   -[no]bham and  -[no]free options.  Finally, the total interaction energy
       energy per group can be calculated ( -etot).

       An approximation of the free energy can be calculated using: E(free) = E0 + kT log( exp((E-E0)/kT) ), where '' stands for  time-average.  A
       file  with  reference  free  energies  can be supplied to calculate the free energy difference with some reference state. Group names (e.g.
       residue names) in the reference file should correspond to the group names as used in the  -groups file, but a appended number (e.g. residue
       number) in the  -groups will be ignored in the comparison.
