inserting line to a file
I have posted it previously but somehow could not delete the previous post.I felt i could not explain the problem statement well.
Here t goes.I have a file say File1. Now i need a specific pattern from the lines to be added to the other line.

File:
Code:
red blue green ABC.txt@ABC END 
black ash grey purple XYZ.txt@XYZ END
orange pink yellow marroon PQR.txt@PQR

Now i want the file to look like this:

Code:
#change ABC red blue green ABC.txt@ABC END 
#change XYZ black ash grey purple XYZ.txt@XYZ END 
#change PQR orange pink yellow marroon PQR.txt@PQR

Kindly let me know how i can do the same

vga_setegacolor

vga_setegacolor(3)						Svgalib User Manual						vga_setegacolor(3)

NAME

       vga_setegacolor - set the current color

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setegacolor(int color);

DESCRIPTION

       Set the current color to be a color resembling the color-th EGA coler. This works regardless of the depth of the current video mode.

       The color is used by vga_drawpixel(3) and vga_drawline(3).

       Valid values for color are:

       0      - black.
       1      - blue.
       2      - green.
       3      - cyan.
       4      - red.
       5      - magenta.
       6      - brown.
       7      - grey.
       8      - dark grey (light black).
       9      - light blue.
       10     - light green.
       11     - light cyan.
       12     - light red.
       13     - light magenta.
       14     - yellow (light brown).
       15     - white (light grey).

       The fun(6) and vgatest(6) demos show the basic use of this function.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced function as well as of the
       original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

       Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or  corrections
       to this first version of the svgalib manual.
