Hi,

Not sure if that is a bug, but here is a round about solution.

Data file.


$ cat data.txt
data1
data2
############ Begin of MySed.sed##############
G;

/\n$/s:::
/\n./{

# Here instead of 4 you can use your pattern.
/^.*4.*\n.*4.*$/!{
s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/\2\n\1/;
x; s/.*//; x;
b;
}

# Use your pattern here instead of 4.
/^.*4.*\n.*4.*$/{
P; s/\n.*//; h; 

#Read ur file here
r data.txt
d
}
}

#Use ur pattern instead of 4
/4/{
h

#Read ur file here.
r data.txt
d
}
########### End of MySed.sed####################

output when using seq 10  | sed -f MySed.sed
1
2
3
data1
data2
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

This works even with two succesive lines of same regexp.
but will fail if the last line i.e $ has the regexp.


thanks
