Double Spacing complex sed pipeline
my script:
Code:
 
FILE="$1"
echo "You Entered $FILE"
if [ -f $FILE ]; then
tmp=$(cat $FILE | sed '/./!d' | sed -n '/regex/,/regex/{/regex/d;p}'| sed -n '/---/,+2!p' | sed -n '/#/!p' | sed 's/^[\
]*//' | sed -e\
s/[^:]*:// | sed -n '/==> /!p' | sed -n '/--> /!p' | sed -n '/regex/,+1!p' | sed -n '/======/!p' | sed -n '/regex/!p' | sed -n '\
/regex/!p' | sed -n '/regex /!p')
fi
MyVar=$(echo $tmp > my.txt)
FILE2="$2"
if [ -f $FILE2 ]; then
tmp2=$(cat $FILE2 | sed -n '/regex/,/regex/{/regex/d;p}' | sed -n '/#/!p' | sed -e s/[^:]*:// | sed /--------/,+10d)
fi
echo "You Entered $FILE2"
MyVar2=$(echo $tmp2 > my2.txt)
var=$(echo hi2.txt | sed '/^$/p' )
echo "$var"
cmp -b my.txt my2.txt

i know, i know. thats a long pipeline..my problem is that i cant seem to include anywhere in it to be able to double space it. sed G sed '/^$/p' or awk, they just really doesnt register. the sed pipeline is to long for me to do that.. ..

Anyways , what i have looks similar to the paragraph that i just typed. And probably this one when im through. the exception to this and my text file is that it has valid commands. nothing else. So it makes sense for me double space the file iim talking about and then somehow to use a loop to execute each line ( contaiing the comands ) .

i really struck. i really need help.

apple_dump

APPLE_DUMP(1)                                                      Netatalk 2.2                                                      APPLE_DUMP(1)

NAME

       apple_dump - Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file

SYNOPSIS

       apple_dump [-a] FILE | DIR
                                                          apple_dump -f FILE
                                                          apple_dump -d FILE
                                                          apple_dump -h | -help | --help
                                                          apple_dump -v | -version | --version

DESCRIPTION

       apple_dump dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.

OPTIONS

       -a FILE|DIR
           This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for FILE or DIR automatically. Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If
           FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.

       -f FILE
           Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.

       -d FILE
           Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.

       -h, -help, --help
           Display the help and exit

       -v, -version, --version
           Show version and exit

NOTE

       There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examins whether file or directory, a parent
       directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.

       If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another file.
