The inserted line needs to be on a separate physical line. sed -e '/PATTERN/a\ line' For /bin/csh, you need two backslashes because the shell recognizes backslashes inside single-quotes, which it shouldn't. -- James Bailie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mammothcheese.ca ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It looks as though BSD sed is supplied with in the FreeBSD base system. You might want to try GNU sed instead. It's in the Ports tree - textproc/gsed. If neither of them work for you then you've probably made a mistake with your input. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Sed in FreeBSD
Hi, I'm trying to use sed in script to append file after pattern but I couldn't find any good example how can I do it. I've tried with sed -e '/PATTERN/ a\ line' file but this did'n work. There are many axamples in internet but none of them work on FreeBSD.
