looking for a matching "string" in file.txt then adding a new line after where "string" was found with a new line:

"this is a new line"

set line = "string"

SET lineAdd = "this is a new line"

what command can be composed to get this done ...

Now that you've edited your question to rule out .doc file as opposed to .txt, I'll direct you to this incomplete topic which should certainly have something for you!

i tried fedit

fedit -add -once -f test.inf -s addreg -l "please","use",quotes,"Yes"

result:

please,use,quotes,Yes

no "quotes"

it seems the author wasn't around since mid 2006 to help with this

if anyone knows of a good alternative for this, then please let me know

TIA
