[SOLVED] find and append to text files

As I said, sed is not that clever. It always opens the input file(s) at the beginning.
NB: in -i mode the sed code runs file by file; $ means end of the current file. This is different from the default streaming mode. So {} + does work!

Indeed, well observed!

I'm taking back what I said, thanks.

Okay, no optimization then...
