I think you can do it with sed, but one trick would be to make sure you are
not writing out to the same file as you are reading from. This may be unique
to me, but I had a hell of a time trying to figure what was wrong with a
similar thing I was working on. It turned out to be that I had to bring in
one file, do the operation, write out to another file and then change the
name back to the original.
Anyways... Give this a try:
#cat filename | sed s/Test/Test\nTest1/g > filename2
That works for me... ymmv :-)
