Question

simple SED command

Answer 1

+8 A:

sed 's/<html>/<html><link rel="stylesheet" type="text\/css" href="LivingInStyle.css">/g' file.html

That will output the new file to the console and you can redirect it wherever you need. Or you can use -i to edit inplace.

EDIT: Forgot to escape the slash

I'd choose a different delimiter, maybe 's!...!...!g', to avoid having to escape. But that's personal opinion.

@ephemient: That's probably a better choice, but I feel odd using anything but slash

Answer 2

+3 A:

You can also use:

sed -e 's!<html>!<html><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="LivingInStyle.css">!' < file

i.e. use another separator instead of escaping the slash.
