Insert text below other text
I need help in bash.
This is the problem
I have a php file that I edit, add a line under another.

PHP file:
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
</select>

I need insert "<option value="anything">Select version1</option>" below
"<option value="50">Select version</option>"

Please help me...

I tried for a long time but not get anything

I tried this:

sed '/^<option value="50">Seleccione una version...</option>/<option value="50">Select version</option>'
file > newfile

but the bash interpret leaves no place < or > or / in the text to insert.
I think it is confused with bash syntaxis.

Suponiendo que "file.txt" tiene el siguiente contenido:
Code:
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$ cat "file.txt"
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
</select>
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$

Y tengo un script "shell.sh" con el siguiente contenido:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
cat file.txt | sed '/option value/ a\
<option value="anything">Select version1</option>'

Ahora ejecutandolo:
Code:
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$ bash shell.sh
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
<option value="anything">Select version1</option>
</select>
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$

Solo redirigelo:
Code:
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$ bash shell.sh > nuevo.txt
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$ cat nuevo.txt 
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
<option value="anything">Select version1</option>
</select>
leo@lein:~/Escritorio$

Saludos.
O solo:
Code:
sed '/option value/ a\<option value="anything">Select version1</option>' "file.txt"

Isn't gedit a graphical editor ?
Editing files in it should be pretty intuitive.

Or are you trying to modify the files from the command line ?

Guess you are indeed:

Code:
$ 
$ cat data.txt
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
</select>
$ 
$ sed 's/\(<option.*>\)/\1\n<option value="anything">Select version1<\/option>/' data.txt
<select name="RecPerPage" id="RecPerPage" onchange="this.form.submit();" class="phpmaker">
<option value="50">Select version</option>
<option value="anything">Select version1</option>
</select>
$
