Just posted on another fellow's question using ed, but I wanted to know about doing it with sed on Unix. For example - I have a file of an unknown length, but I want to add a line after the shell declaration (Line 2). If possible, I'd like the example to be able to just substitute in a number and work on any line (IE, it works on line 2 or on line 55). The following line in awk will give me the result I'm looking for, but how do I do it with non-GNU SED?
Thanks!
Hi I'm new to sed, and need to add characters into a specific location of a file, the fileds are tab seperated.

I need to add more characters to the line to look like this:
text <tab> <tab> newtext <tab> text <tab> text EOL
Any ideas? (2 Replies)

This example will insert 'file.txt' between line 1 and 2 of source.txt.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
