This is the line which needs to be add after the word permission

echo 'profile: /export/home/unix1/auto.pr' >> $xxyy

if [ "$value" = "add" ];then
cd $unixserv/unix
sed '
/permission/ a\
echo 'profile: /export/home/unix1/auto.pr' >> $xxyy
generate_autosys_job.ksh > man5.txt

Have you tried the solution I mentioned earlier?

Code:
sed '
/permission/ a\
echo '"'profile: /export/home/unix1/auto.pr'"' >> $xxyy' file

Regards

Hi.

I tried the solution of Franklin52:
Code:
#!/bin/sh -

# @(#) s2       Demonstrate sed insertion with complex quoting.

FILE=${1-data1}

echo
echo " Input file $FILE:"
cat $FILE

echo
echo " Results from sed:"
sed '
/permission/ a\
echo '"'profile: /export/home/unix1/auto.pr'"' >> $xxyy' $FILE

exit 0

producing:
Code:
% ./s2

 Input file data1:
This is a line
Another line
This line contains permission.
This is the line that should appear after the inserted line.
Last line.

 Results from sed:
This is a line
Another line
This line contains permission.
echo 'profile: /export/home/unix1/auto.pr' >> $xxyy
This is the line that should appear after the inserted line.
Last line.

So it works correctly for me. That means there are two solutions that appear to work correctly.

does not give us enough information.

Post the code you have tried and the results with copy and paste so that we can exactly what you have done, otherwise we're wasting time guessing what the problem might be ... cheers, drl

Hi Thanks for the help ...

I have tried both the codes , it worked , but when i merging this with my script is not working


if [ "$value" = "add" ];then
sed '
/permission/ a\
echo 'profile: /export/home/unix/auto.profile-45' >> job_name_main man7.txt > man8.txt
