[talk] insert line after matched pattern (fwd)

[Isaac (.ike) Levy]

Fun!  I'll also add:

# after your pattern match, inserting on a new line:
# sed '/pattern/a \
line to insert after line with pattern\
' file

# before your pattern match, inserting on a new line:
$ sed '/pattern/a \
line to insert after line with pattern\
' file

Notable fun,

Infamous sed1line.txt and awk1line.txt docs, (can be found all over the net),
http://blackskyresearch.net/sed1line.txt
http://blackskyresearch.net/awk1line.txt

Best,
.ike
