Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

This is what I was trying to do, comment one line and add something different in a new line right next.
This is the command I want to do

Code:

more .profile | sed 's,STRING1, #STRING1 NEWLINE STRING2,'

(I´m using ',' because my string is something like this
exec /XXX/scripts/CRAZYERP/logins_restriction.sh -l
)

So the result will be
original file ( I will find 1)

Code:

1
2
3

modified file

Code:

#1
string2
2
3

I tried n and > but didn´t work too.

I found the this topic

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...ed-string.html
(Perderabo)
I tried the
echo abababab | sed 's/b/\/'


But didn´t work

Code:

messagem sed: command garbled: s/b/\/g

I´m using solaris, I think awk or nawk is my way out.
Or I´m doing some stupid mistake ( very possible )

I´m accepting ideas for only replace the file string1 and not #string1, so If I run the program twice I don´t get any problem.

Dear...

the problem is the new line where you have to enter new line literary so the command should be :-

sed 's,STRING1, #STRING1\
STRING2,' < filename > output_file

In Perderabo's post, the code looks like

Code:

echo abababab | sed 's/b/\
/g'

Notice that the /g' is in the next line i.e. you hit the Enter key on your keyboard after you type sed 's/b/\

thanks, It was a stupid problem mine
I was trying so hard to find one break line that do not think in enter


Sorry
