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:

dteditorgotoline
DtEditorGoToLine(library call) DtEditorGoToLine(library call)
NAME
DtEditorGoToLine -- move the insert cursor for a DtEditor widget to a specified line
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h>
void DtEditorGoToLine(
Widget widget,
int lineNumber);
DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorGoToLine function moves the insert cursor for the DtEditor widget to the beginning of the line specified by the lineNumber
argument. The cursor can be moved to the last line by specifying DtEDITOR_LAST_LINE as the line number. If the line is not currently on-
screen, the contents for the DtEditor widget are scrolled to display the new insertion position.
The lineNumber argument is the number of the line in the file, counting from 1. If the lineNumber argument is less than 1, the insert cur-
sor is placed at the beginning of the first line. If the argument is greater than the total number of lines, the cursor is placed at the
last line of text.
The insert cursor can be moved to a specific character position with DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(3). The DtNtopCharacter resource can be
used to control which line is displayed at the top of the DtEditor widget.
The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.
The lineNumber argument specifies the line number within the DtEditor widget.
For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).
RETURN VALUE
The DtEditorGoToLine function returns no value.
