Using sed to find and append or insert on SAME line
Post 302975597 by Imre on Wednesday 15th of June 2016 08:21:09 PM

I will have a look at the first piece of code you gave me and see what the affect is.
I think i got the -e option of sed now, thanks also.
The 's/findstr/repstring/g' is about the most common syntax of sed i can actually understand.
which is why i hate why i cant understand a simple thing like append.
I understand it appends a line after the line in which a pattern is found.
I also understand the i option which inserts a string before the line in which a pattern is found.
Is what i say right?
Anyhow, what i am trying to say what i want which is "appending" text to a same line in which a pattern is found is obviously not being correctly asked so i apologize,
Let me test the affects of the first code example you gave me and see if i get it, thanks.

makecsd
MAKECSD(1) The Canonical Csound Reference MAKECSD(1) NAME
makecsd - Creates a CSD file from the specified input files. . DESCRIPTION
Creates a CSD file from the specified input files. The first input file that has a .orc extension (case is not significant) is put to the <CsInstruments> section, and the first input file that has a .sco extension becomes <CsScore>. Any remaining files are Base64 encoded and added as <CsFileB> tags. An empty <CsOptions> section is always added. Some text filtering is performed on the orchestra and score file: o newlines are converted to the native format of the system on which makecsd is being run. o blank lines are removed from the beginning and end of files. o any trailing whitespace is removed from the end of lines. o optionally, tabs can be expanded to spaces with an user specified tabstop size. SYNTAX
makecsd [OPTIONS ... ] infile1 [ infile2 [ ... ]] INITIALIZATION
Flags: o - t n = expand tabs to spaces using tabstop size n (default: disabled). This applies only to the orchestra and score file. o - w n = set Base64 line width to n (default: 72). Note: the orchestra and score are not wrapped. o - o fname = output file name (default: stdout) EXAMPLES
makecsd -t 6 -w 78 -o file.csd file.mid file.orc file.sco sample.aif This creates a CSD from file.orc and file.sco (tabs are expanded to spaces assuming a tabstop size of 6 characters), and file.mid and sample.aif are added as <CsFileB> tags containing Base64 encoded data with a line width of 78 characters. The output file is file.csd. CREDITS
