Thanks and it worked as I wanted it to work, however I found a new question after some time..
What if I want the replacement part of 's/regexp/replacement/' to be a file with multiple lines?
s/regexp/`cat filename`/ don't work as it complains about some characters, which I guess depends on the linebreaks.
Thank you!
