sed help finding and editing
With sed

1. I need to find a line that contains "DVM" and "73069".
2. I need to insert a double quote at the beginning of the first line of the file.

These two have been driving me crazy for the last 45 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Output:
Code:
