Hey guys, I am trying to make sed append every line containing a string with another line. problem is the appended line needs to start with a tab: # sed -i '/string/a \tstuff\t\t\tmorestuff' file Obviously \t or \x09 etc doesn't get interpreted unless there are other characters before it? How can I get this to begin with a <tab>?
Thanks! jlc
