Text file insertion via sed
I have 800+ html files that need to have a javascript added to them in the head. I can do the looping, setting filenames as variables, etc. but I cannot figure out how to insert my javascript file into the html.

My javascript is in a file named jsinsert.txt

It basically has this format: (snipped to save space)

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function printContent(id){
str=document.getElementById(id).innerHTML
newwin=window.open('','printwin','left=100,top=100,width=400,height=400')
newwin.document.write('<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n')
newwin.document.write('<TITLE>Print Page</TITLE>\n')
newwin.document.write('<script>\n')
newwin.document.write('function chkstate(){\n')
newwin.document.write('if(document.readyState=="complete"){\n')
newwin.document.write('window.close()\n')
newwin.document.close()
}
//-->
</script>

The above code needs to be inserted just prior to </head>
I've tried various things but I am not very fluent with sed. Here's an example:

Code:
sed '/<\/head>/i\ jsinsert.txt' <myfile.html >myfile.html.tmp
mv myfile.html.tmp myfile.html

This fails. It actually puts the words jsinsert.txt just before the </head> rather than the contents of the jsinsert.txt file. Whatever, I've tried several things but cannot get the text to insert.

As I said previously. I can do the looping through the files, extract the filenames I am working with, etc. I just cannot properly insert the contents of the jsinsert.txt file just prior to the </head> tag. Any ideas about how I accomplish that?

	#   Resynchronize line numbers for more accurate pass 3 warnings
	<sync-lines>

DESCRIPTION

       This include file defines some standard support tags one needs all the time.  All tags are self-explanatory and briefly mentioned in
       wml_intro(1), except the last two which are described below.

   "<javascript>":
       This tag was primarily a shorthand for "<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">" but it has evolved.  If the "<head>" tag is
       defined and is a complex macro, e.g. when calling "wml::std::page", then Javascript code is automatically passed to this macro and should
       be diverted to the HEAD section of HTML documents.  This diversion preserve lang slices in multi-lingual documents.  Those features may be
       disabled by the ``nohead'' and ``nolang'' attributes.

   "<sync-lines>":
       WML tries to print information on input file and line numbers when warnings or errors are reported in passes 2 and 3.  Some special
       sentences containing file names and line numbers are inserted during pass 1. So pass 2 have an accurate knowledge of where warnings appear
       in input file.  But it also filters it without preserving lines, so after pass 2 information is almost unusable.  By putting "<sync-lines>"
       in input file, it forces pass 2 to resynchronize information on line numbers.  So for debugging pass 3, it could be of some help to insert
       "<sync-lines>" before ePerl code.
