Adding lines at a particular location in a file.

Hi Experts,

Let us take a text file,say items.txt having the following data

Code:
jar
bottle
gum

tube
cereal
bag

I want to add the content of items.txt to another file say

Code:
#many lines not necessary
ingredients
#many line not necesary
ingredients

I want to append the data in fruits.txt to items.txt after the "First"
occurence of ingredient.

So the output shud be like:
Code:
#many lines not necessary
ingredients
jar
bottle
gum

tube
cereal
bag

#many line not necesary
ingredients

I have some idea like can be done by sed or awk,but instead can a shell script be written so that the values of fruits.txt be passed to items.txt ???
Doable ???

ThanksSmilie
