Hi
I want to search for a string and add a new line after that line in the file.
Say I have a file

Input file

aadfsdfsa
adfadsf
<name>TypeOptions</name>
adfdasf
adfad
adfad

outputfile
adfad
aadfsdfsa
adfadsf
<name>TypeOptions</name>
<option xsi:type="metadata:Option" value="300"></option>
adfdasf
adfad

Can you please help me with this ?

Thanks and Regards
