Could use very simple script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
while read a b c
do
if [[ $b = "right" ]]
then
echo "$a \n$b $c"
else
echo $a $b $c
fi
done < [input text file]

Subject: insert carriage return before string
Hi all.
Maybe I'm being a doofus, but I need some help. How
can I scriptically (ok, I made that word up) insert a
carriage return before a particular string in a file?
I don't want whole blank line before the line that
contains the string, but I want a new line character
inserted before the string itself. For example, if my
input file looks like:
Here is line 1
of my file
and right here is line 4.
I want a new line character inserted before the word
"right". So, I want it to look like:
Here is line 1
of my file
and
right here is line 4.
I can't quite figure out how to do this. I get the
feeling I'm missing something pretty simple here.
Thanks for your help.
