Actually, in this case, the number of lines will be arbitrary. I think I might have to number the rows first and tell the script the number of rows I need to add to a specific line. For example, I may want to add two lines to row 3 but 6 lines to row 4 and 8 lines to row 1. You get the idea.

By the way, I keep getting this error message when I run your script.

Code:

syntax error at line 9: `i=$' unexpected

Jim, I got closer by using this script:

Code:

nl testfile > testfile1
while read line
do
    echo $line "\n $line \n $line" >> sw1_LineInsert
done <testfile1

This script copies each line twice. This is not I really want. I need to figure out now how to tell the script the number of times I want to copy a specific row.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!
