sed question 1

[zaxxon]

Hi,

is it possible to make a "one-liner" of the following sed script?

sed '/PATTERN/ athis text is the added line
'

I tried many variations but non worked to get it on one line at shell prompt. Any help is welcome, thank you.

In ksh -o vi:
sed '/PATTERN/a\^Jthis text is the added line^J'
To have ^J you type Ctrl-V Ctrl-J


Hope This Help, PH.
