use regexp to insert newline within a line
I have successfully used regexp and sed to insert a newline before or after a line containing a matched pattern /WORD/. However, I want to insert a newline immediately following /WORD/ and not after the -line- containing the pattern matched. I can match a pattern, but it is matched via a wild card as follows /..:..:..:..:..:..:..:../ This pattern is a series of 8 random bytes each seperated by a colon. I dont want to delete or change the pattern match, I want only to insert a \n after that.

I use sed to insert text at beginning of a file. But sed inserts a newline after my text that I do not need. For example, I want to insert "foo" at the beginning of my file:
> cat myfile
This is first line.

This is first line.

GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)
NAME
grep - search a file for lines containing a given pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [-elnsv] pattern [file] ...
OPTIONS
-e -e pattern is the same as pattern
-c Print a count of lines matched
-i Ignore case
-l Print file names, no lines
-n Print line numbers
-s Status only, no printed output
-v Select lines that do not match
EXAMPLES
grep mouse file # Find lines in file containing mouse
grep [0-9] file # Print lines containing a digit
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches one or more files (by default, stdin) and selects out all the lines that match the pattern. All the regular expressions
accepted by ed and mined are allowed. In addition, + can be used instead of * to mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or 1
occurrences, and | can be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them. Parentheses can be used for grouping. If a
match is found, exit status 0 is returned. If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned. If an error is detected, exit status 2 is
returned.
