Re: QSHELL SED insert

Hi Patrik

Yes, that does work brilliantly, thank you. I would never have guessed a
gap between the i and the backslash. The manual says: "[1addr]i\ text" -
i.e. no gap. Definitely the most useless manual IBM ever put out (grumble,
grumble)

Can I trouble you with a few follow up questions? I'm out of my depth with
QSHELL but it's my only option in this case.

1. If I prefered to give the pattern inline how would that change the
string? How do I deal with a picky newline in that case?
2. If I want to change the file rather than display it, how do I arrange
the from- and to-file in the string.
3. If I don't want the pattern to be the whole line can I just take the ^
and $ off?

Although I'd like to know how to do it without a script file, I probably
will use a script file this time since I have several things to insert in
one go - i.e. "Something at the top, something before the line that
contains such-and-such, something three lines after that ... and so on", so
if there are any snags about multiple actions in a script I'd be glad to
know them.

Sorry, that's a lot of questions. Whatever you have time for will be
appreciated.

Thanks

Arnie
