adding 2 rows in a data file

graziano1968 · 01-13-2012, 02:56 AM

Hello

I have this

/home/data.txt

I would add following 2 lines

name=test
name2=test2

below the line
@add@

which is already contained in /home/data.txt

How to do that using a linux command please ? I tried using echo or replace without success.

Thank you

I am reading now that using the append function of sed could be helpful , please someone can show me how to use it in the example above ? Thank you
