I looking for a way to insert text & print escape sequences into a data file. For example, I'd like to put a certain command at the start of line 1, a different command at the start of line 2, and insert a command on line 10, column 20...It can't overwrite the current info but it must insert...

Any help would be appreciated.

Doug.

What kind of escape sequences? Is there some reason you can't use a text editor?
