@disedorgue. interesting trick with the GNU e-modifier..
I think you need 0,/^unix/.... otherwise it seems to insert twice in case the first line starts with the pattern...
This User Gave Thanks to Scrutinizer For This Post:
So point to not here is in above codes my condition checks for ==6though we want to insert after 5th occurrence, so whenever you want after nth occurrence to print statements then please put n+1 in condition as simple as that, I hope this helps you.
EDIT: If you want to print contents of Input_file2 on exact occurrence(let's say 5th in this example here) of string then following may help you in same too.

Thanks for notice, I corrected in post.
Otherwise, always with gnu sed for n'th' occurence ( 3rd occurence in example) :
Code:
sed -e '/^unix/{x;s/^/1/;/^1\{3\}$/!bno;x;s/^unix.*/cat f2.txt;echo "&"/e;b;:no;x;}' f1.txt
Apologies for repeated questioning on the same.. I am very much new to this scripting. Please tell me some simple command using sed or awk (without using system) to achieve the task..
Actually i need to execute this task on a a device which taken this input inside system command.. I am not able achieve my task with the given inputs..
example:
Code:
command = sed -e '/^unix/{x;s/^/1/;/^1\{3\}$/!bno;x;s/^unix.*/cat f2.txt;echo "&"/e;b;:no;x;}' f1.txt
I need to execute like system("command")
Means system will execute the command like a shell command..
