Replicating content using sed
if we want to replicate the content of the file twice, then we can use
Code:
sed 'p' filename

In the same way, if i want to replicate the content thrice or 4 times, how we can achieve in SED?
Thanks

Code:
$ awk '{print $0"\n"$0"\n"$0}' infile

yes. AWK is the proper solution for this scenario. Out of curious, i have tried in sed and the below command works fine for single input, But i dont know how to incorporate to a file
Code:
echo hi|sed -e '1,2p' -e '1p'

Thanks

is this really working for you?
The command gets garbled .
i have tried:
Code:
echo hi|sed '{ p p}'
echo hi|sed '{pp}'

@pandeesh:

Commands in same line must be separated with ';'
Code:
$ echo hi|sed '{p;p}'
