'Probably' isn't the right word. More reading and now I've got something along the lines of what I want to do, but it's obviously not going to work: sed '/BB/r file2' file1 This will dump the contents of file2 after each "BB" line in file1. That's not what I'm after. Is there a way in sed to read in one line at a time from file2 to replace "BB" from file1 (as I explained earlier)?
