Script help

[Francois Bariselle_3]

Hi all,

In a file, I want add a string "CC" 2 lines after a know string "B".

Ex.:

My original file is :

A
B
??? --> unknown string
C
D

The result would be :

A
B
???
CC
C
D

How I do this.

Thanks in advance.

Frank

You can use 'awk'

awk '/B/ { print; getline; print; print "CC"; continu } {print}'

You can use 'awk'

awk '/B/ { print; getline; print; print "CC"; continue } {print}'

[Jdamian]

You can use 'awk'

awk '/^B/ { print; getline; print; print "CC"; continue } {print}'

Hi:

Here's a 'sed' solution:

#!/usr/bin/sh
sed '/^B/{
n
aCC
}' inputfile
exit 0

Regards!
