Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,
I have 2 files. File1 has data I wrote, and File2 is a file created by an application. I would like to insert the data from File1 into File2, but it has to be inserted at a certain location on File2.

I know I need to search for
"</jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>"
But I don't know haw to insert data from File1 above the search criteria.

File1:
My Data.

File2:
<jsp-descriptor>
<jsp-param>
.....
-Insert into here
</jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>

Thanks in advance,

doing 'man sed' yields:

You can easily solve this using vi editor using buffers.

Open file1 and file2 using vi editor

Code:

vi file1 file2

Copy the contents to buffer called "m" by

"m3yy ---- It will yank 3 lines to buffer called m


Navigate to file2 in vi editor by doing :e file2

navigate to the place in file2 where you want paste the contents in buffer m

and just do


"mp



There may be other methods by which you can achieve this easily.

Thanks Vgersh,
I looked at the man pages, and I still cannot figure out the RFile.
Can you please shed some light on this,

thanks,

Nevermind, figured it out.
