How to insert text after a block of text?

Input:
Code:
fstab is a configuration 
file that contains information 
of all the partitions 

and storage devices 
in your computer. 

The file is located under /etc, 
so the full path 
to this file is /etc/fstab.

The >>>>> characters would be replaced by some texts.
For example if i run a shell script,
Code:
./run.sh sometexts infile

Output would be:
Code:
fstab is a configuration 
file that contains information 
of all the partitions 
sometexts

and storage devices 
in your computer.

The file is located under /etc, 
so the full path 
to this file is /etc/fstab.

NAME
getfsent, getfsspec, getfsfile, getfstype, setfsent, endfsent - get file system descriptor file entry SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h> struct fstab *getfsent() struct fstab *getfsspec(spec) char *spec; struct fstab *getfsfile(file) char *file; struct fstab *getfstype(type) char *type; int setfsent() int endfsent() DESCRIPTION
Getfsent, getfsspec, getfstype, and getfsfile each return a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the broken-out fields of a line in the file system description file, <fstab.h>. struct fstab { char *fs_spec; char *fs_file; char *fs_type; int fs_freq; int fs_passno; }; The fields have meanings described in fstab(5). Getfsent reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary. Setfsent opens and rewinds the file. Endfsent closes the file. Getfsspec and getfsfile sequentially search from the beginning of the file until a matching special file name or file system file name is found, or until EOF is encountered. Getfstype does likewise, matching on the file system type field. FILES
/etc/fstab SEE ALSO
fstab(5) DIAGNOSTICS
Null pointer (0) returned on EOF or error. BUGS
