[Bash]Attempting to Merge text from one file into another file at the line directly under a word
Hello,
This is my first post on the forums. So I want to start by thanking anyone who is kind enough to read this post and offer advise. I hope to be an active contributor now that I've found these forums.

I have an issue that I figure would be a good first post..

I have 2 text files generated once a day.. in each is a list of successful file transfers and the 2nd file has a list of unsuccessful file transfers...

I have a 3rd file I call report.txt , in this report.txt on the first line i have " List of successful transfers:" on the 3rd line I have " List of unsuccessful transfers: " ...

I want to input the contents of file1 under the line that reads " List of successful transfers:" and I want to import the contents of file2 under the line that reads " List of unsuccessful transfers:" ... since the amount of files that succeed or fail may change daily.. I cannot just use a sed statement to insert at a specific line number.. I figure If I can find out how to insert the contents on the line directly under the line containing the word "successful" and again under the line that contains the word "unsuccessful" this would do the trick.. but not sure how to do this...

Any suggestions?

DR(4)							     Kernel Interfaces Manual							     DR(4)

NAME

       dr - DR11-W general purpose interface driver

SYNOPSIS

       /sys/conf/SYSTEM:
	    NDR  dr11-w_units	# DR11-W

       /etc/dtab:
	    #Name Unit# Addr   Vector Br Handler(s)	 # Comments
	    dr	  ?	172410 124    5  drintr 	 # dr11-w (b-bus emulator)
	    dr	  ?	172430 130    5  drintr 	 # dr11-w (gc-bus emulator)
	    dr	  ?	172450 134    5  drintr 	 # dr11-w (em-2 interface)

       major device number(s):
	    raw: 12
       minor device encoding:
	    bits 0007 specify DR unit

DESCRIPTION

       The Digital Equipment 1981-82 Peripherals Handbook states the following about the DR11-W:

	      The The DR11-W is a general purpose, direct memory access (DMA) interface to the PDP-11 UNIBUS or VAX UNIBUS.  The DR11-W moves data
	      directly between memory and the UNIBUS to and from the user's peripheral.

	      It features:

	      o      Word or byte transfers.

	      o      Programmed or direct memory access (DMA) block transfers.

	      o      Burst data transfers.

	      o      User-controlled transfer rates up to memory speed.

	      The DR11-W is a 53-line direct memory access (DMA) interface to the PDP-11 UNIBUS or VAX UBA, which allows the user to control  data
	      transfers  between the host processor and a peripheral.  The DR11-W has 32 data lines (for transferring 16-bit parallel data) and 21
	      control lines (for transferring control and status information.

	      When used as an interprocessor buffer (IPB), the DR11-W allows data transfers between two processors.  Interprocessor  communication
	      is accomplished by attaching one DR11-W to each processor UNIBUS or UBA and then cabling the two DR11-Ws together.

       There.  Now you know as much about it as I do.

       A number of ioctl(2) calls apply to the dr devices, and have the form
	      #include <pdpuba/drreg.h>
	      ioctl(fildes, code, arg)
	      int *arg;
       The applicable codes are:

       DRGTTY		 Get DR11-W status.

       DRSTTY		 Set flags and function.

       DRSFUN		 Set function.

       DRSFLAG		 Set flags.

       DRGCSR		 Get CSR and WCR.

       DRSSIG		 Set signal for ATTN interrupt.

       DRESET		 Reset DR11-W interface.

       DRSTIME		 Set timeout.

       DRCTIME		 Set timeout inactive.

       DROUTPUT 	 Put word in output data register.

       DRINPUT		 Get word from input data register.

       DRITIME		 Don't ignore errors on timeout.

FILES

       /dev/dr[0-7]	   device special files
       /dev/MAKEDEV	   script to create special files
       /dev/MAKEDEV.local  script to localize special files

SEE ALSO

       dtab(5), autoconfig(8)

DIAGNOSTICS

       dr%d: error csr=%b, eir=%b

       dr%d: timeout error

BUGS

       This interface is only available under 2.9BSD and 2.11BSD.  No documentation exists on how to use it.
