how to implement text, shell

[quartz]

I need to implement some text, date, into another text file. For instance, first line in 7 line and second line in 10 line of another text file?
Thanks in advance.

You could use sed for this, see also 'man sed'.

For your example you could prepare a command file (stored in file 'comm'):

7 i lineSeven
10 i lineTen

The first column is the line number, the second the command ('i' for insert) and the third the new line.

If you then invoke sed on your file to be changed (name: myFile):

sed -fcomm <myFile

The output will have new lines 7 and 10.

You may want to redirect things to a new file:

sed -fcomm >myNewFile <myFile

its better to show an input file, an output format that is desired and also any code that you have written so far.

I will try your advice, bur in meantime I founded this command

sed -e '1h;7G;1d' text > text1

it is doing what I need.

I have one more question.

for new date I am using
#!bin/bash
date=`date+"%Y% m%d"`
echo date$ > textfile
.....

I wont to have new date in text file in column e.g. 12?

Thanks in advance
