Need help in using sed/awk for line insertion in xml
Hello,

I have two text files (txt1 and txt2). txt1 contains many lines with a single number in each line. txt2 (xml format) contains information about the numbers given in txt1. I need to insert one line in txt2 within the scope of each number taken from txt1.

Sample problem:
txt1:
12
23
45
67
78

txt2:
<id = "ab">
<>
<"add text here!!!">
</holder>
<>
<num = "12">
<>
<>
<>
<id = "bc">
<>
<"add text here!!!">
</holder>
<>
<num = "78">
<>
<>
<>
<id = "cd">
<>
<>
<>
<"dont add since 90 is not in the txt1">
</holder>
<num = "90">
<>
<>
hope i have not confused much..

so within the scope of each number place the text above the line </holder> for all the numbers present in txt1.

---------- Post updated at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous update was at 04:05 PM ----------

I have been able to insert the line above all the </holder> in the file... But I am stuck when I am matching the numbers from txt1 and inserting into txt2 into a specific location.....

here's the code I used to insert above all lines having </holder>

sed '/</\Holder>/i\<TEXT INSERTED>' filename

osd_cat

XOSD(1xosd)															       XOSD(1xosd)

NAME

       osd_cat - X on-screen file displayer

SYNOPSIS

       osd_cat [OPTION] [FILE]...
       osd_cat -b percentage|slider [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       Display FILE, or standard input, on X screen.

       -p, --pos=POS
	      This option tells osd_cat where to display the text. POS can be top, middle, or bottom. The default is top.

       -o, --offset=OFFSET
	      This option specifies the offset from the top or bottom of screen the text is displayed. The default is 0.

       -A, --align=ALIGN
	      This option tells osd_cat where to display the text. ALIGN can be left, right or center. The default is left.

       -i, --indent=OFFSET
	      This option specifies the INDENT from the left of screen the text is displayed. The default is 0.

       -f, --font=FONT
	      This option specifies the FONT to be used for displaying the text. The default is fixed.

       -c, --color=COLOR
	      This option specifies the COLOR to be used for displaying the text. The default is red.

       -d, --delay=TIME
	      This option specifies the number of seconds the text is displayed. The default is 5 seconds.

       -l, --lines=LINES
	      This option specifies the number of LINES to scroll the display over. The default is 5.

       -s, --shadow=OFFSET
	      This option specifies the OFFSET of the text shadow. The default is 0, which means no text shadow is created.

       -a, --age[=SCROLL_AGE]
	      This  option  affects  screen  redrawing.  If SCROLL_AGE seconds pass before a new line is ready (for example, you're reading from a
	      pipe), all lines are cleared at once instead of being scrolled off as new lines replace old lines. The default is 0.
	      When no SCROLL_AGE is explicitly given, the current value from DELAY is used.

       -w, --wait
	      This option also affects screen redrawing. When there is data ready to be put on screen, this option  will  cause  osd_cat  to  wait
	      until the display is clear. An alternative to scrolling.

       -b, --barmode=TYPE
	      Lets  you  display a percentage or slider bar instead of just text.  TYPE may be percentage or slider.  In this mode no text is read
	      from any file, but the following options can be used:

       -P, --percentage=PERCENTAGE
	      This option specified the position of the percentage / slider bar.  PERCENTAGE may be in the range from 0 to 100, the default is 50.

       -T, --text=TEXT
	      This option specifies an optional TEXT which gets displayed above the percentage bar.  The default is empty, so no  additional  text
	      is displayed.

       -h, --help
	      display help (which is often more up to date) and exit

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
