 We can simplify the sed code a bit , since the pattern space
 gets loaded by input.
 Note: The $N even though it looks like a valid sed syntax, but
 here it is a shell variable N, storing the number of times 
 to print the string "abcd". N > 0
 

 sed -ne "

    :loop
       G;P
       s/\n/&/$N
    Tloop
 "
