Can I do this with Awk?

[beaster]

I posted this in Unix forum, but didnt get the answer I was looking for....

I want to add lines of text at the top of several files. The text to add:

@LABEL BEGIN
@SET LOGFILE=("/home/bham_mta/rehome_scripts/cmd_file1&quot
@LOG(LOGFILE)
@SET SWITCH="BH1BSC1"
@CONNECT (SWITCH)

To be added to the top of each file found named rxmop_input*

I tried:

sed '1i@LABEL BEGIN
@SET LOGFILE=("/home/bham_mta/rehome_scripts/cmd_file1&quot
@LOG(LOGFILE)
@SET SWITCH="BH1BSC1"
@CONNECT (SWITCH)
'
rxmop_input*

But obviously that didnt work. I cant even remember where I got that from. Please guide me....

Yes, you can - but NOT 'in-place' editing. You'll have to wrap awk with shell and move files around.

I've posted the 'ex' in-place editing solution for this in UNIX forum. vlad
