Hii,

I have a file like this--

Here i want to replace the line o: Torry Harris with o: Torry arris Business Solutions and in file there are places where this line is not there after the Mobile number,so i want to insert the line as --o: Torry arris Business Solutions. i can replace it easily with sed but how i can insert the line after that.

Thanks

This file is very big infact, if i start doing it with VI it will consume plenty of time.

Try this:

awk '/^mobile: /{
print; getline; print "o: Torry arris Business Solutions"
if(substr($1,1,2) == "o:"){next}
}1' file

Hi,

You can build simple solution in perl for this.
Please let me know if you need source code for it.

awk evaluates after the last close brace the 1 as true and the prints the entire line by default.
