Thank you for steering me in the right direction, I think I am almost there. My goal is to take a file, "massage" it, and output the contents. I am expecting the below to massage JEFFTEST files and output JEFFTEST.TIMESTAMP (Whatever that may be)
Code:
find /opt/test -type f -name "JEFFTEST" | while read name
do
timestamp=$(date +%s)
awk '{ sub(/\r/, ""); } # Delete carriage returns
NR <= 56 { next } # Don't print lines from banner page
# Quit once you find ***********
/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/ { exit }
# Otherwise, print all lines
{ print }' < $name > $name.$timestamp
done

Given a text file, how do you add a line of text after a specific line number? I believe I would want to use "sed" but I am unsure of the syntax. Thank you.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
