I couldnt get it to work because I was just tryng to replace Trans. The Port was out of the file I was trying to process. Is there any way we could adjust it?

awk '/TRANSLATION/;if(/TRANSLATION/)getline < "v.head"}g' verses.txt > out.txt
awk: /TRANSLATION/;if(/TRANSLATION/)getline < "v.head"}g
awk: ^ syntax error
awk: /TRANSLATION/;if(/TRANSLATION/)getline < "v.head"}g
awk: ^ syntax error

If you want to store the filename in a variable then you will have to use double-quotes instead of single-quotes to enable expansion. Like this

Code:

#!/bin/bash

patternFILE=v.head
workFILE=verses.txt
sed -n "/Trans/,/Port/{/Trans/ {R $patternFILE
d};/Port/! p}" $workFILE > out.txt

Can we edit the command?

Quote:

sed -n "/TRANSLATION/{/TRANSLATION/ {R v.head
d};p}" verses.txt > out1.txt

OUTPUT of ^:
Bg1.1
Bg1.2
Bg1.3

In case you were interested. You have put extra semi colon where the first curly brace is supposed to be, but as the Port part is no longer required this could be even simpler:

Code:

awk '/TRANSLATION/{getline < "v.head"}1' verses.txt
