I've been playing with sed, trying to get it to insert the contents of somefile.txt after line 13 on anotherfile.txt. I tried searching for a line with regex and attempting to insert something on the next line with:
but it doesn't work. I figured if I started with adding another line with "cat" I could maybe figure out how to direct the input from another file there. Am I going about this the right way, or is there some much simpler way? I want to edit the same file, not write anotherfile.txt > stillanotherfile.txt
I know that this my be really simple, but I'm having a hard time accomplishing it. I am trying to add a new line of text after finding a particular string of text in a file. Here's what I'm getting:

I was using "N" to add a line after the... (3 Replies)

pdbtxt2html
pdbtxt2html(1) General Commands Manual pdbtxt2html(1)NAME
pdbtxt2html - Doc Text to HTML converter for Palm Pilots
SYNOPSIS
pdbtxt2html [ -t ] file.txt [ file.html ]
pdbtxt2html -v
DESCRIPTION
pdbtxt2html converts text converted from a Doc(4) file via txt2pdbdoc(1) to HTML. If no HTML filename is given, the generated HTML is sent
to standard output.
Document Title
The first line of the file is used for the HTML document title.
Bookmarks
The last line of the file is examined and, if it contains a string enclosed between < and >, that is taken to be the bookmark marker. The
entire file is then scanned looking for lines beginning with it (ignoring leading whitespace). These lines are converted to HTML headings.
The number of whitespace characters after the first bookmark marker is used for heading level 1. The level of subsequent headings is set
to the number of whitespace characters between the bookmark marker and the bookmark text minus the number for the first bookmark plus one.
Embedded URLs
Valid URLs (according to RFC 1630) embedded in the text are turned into hyperlinks. The ftp, gopher, http, https, mailto, news, telnet,
and wais URLs are recognized.
OPTIONS -t Compile a table of contents and insert it between the first heading and the body.
-v Print the version number to standard output and exit.
EXAMPLE
To convert a Doc file to HTML:
txt2pdbdoc alice.pdb alice.txt
pdbtxt2html alice.txt alice.html
