[sed] Replace one line with two lines
Literally cannot get this one, guys. Single line replacement is simple, but I am not understanding the correct syntax for including a new line feed into the substitution part.

Here's what I got. (Cannot use perl)

Code:
#!/bin/sh
set -f
#Start Perms
export HOME=/home/test_user
# End Perms

# Replace ./x.mak with these two lines
#     chmod 775 x.mak
#     ./x.mak
find . -type -f print0 |xargs sed 's|./x.mak|chmod 775 x.mak \ ./x.mak|g'
# Done

It renders a terminating error. I'm looking for the correct syntax to basically prepend the chmod part before the search pattern, but just by replacing it, as I've tried a few different ways to try to prepend it, but it didn't work.
