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!

SWISS::Stars(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SWISS::Stars(3pm)NAME
SWISS::Stars.pm
DESCRIPTION
SWISS::Stars represents the ** lines within an SWISS-PROT + TrEMBL entry. These are the lines with the line tag ** which are normally not
publicly visible.
SWISS::Stars is a master object like SWISS::Entry. It contains subobjects which represent the different line types in the ** section. Each
line type has a two letter tag in addition to the ** line tag. This module has been written to allow easy addition of new ** line types. To
use a new ** line tag, just use the tag as an object dereference. Example:
$entry->Stars->XX->add("New XX tag line.","Second new XX tag line.");
If there is no class SWISS::Stars::XX, the class of the new object will be SWISS::Stars::default, which handles lines with the
corresponding tag as an array of lines. If more specific handling is required, a new class SWISS::Stars::XX can be created following the
template of SWISS::Stars::default. An example is SWISS::Stars::aa.
Subclass names and new line tags have to be two-letter-tags. No checks are made wheter the dereferenced tag is allowed.
Access to the (old) unstructured ANNOTATOR'S SECTION is provided by the line tag 'aa'.
$entry->Stars->aa->add("Testline 1.","Second new test line.");
will add these two lines to the ANNOTATOR'S SECTION.
