Sed: Add / to line matching pattern

Comment:

Hi! As the subject says, I'd like to add a " /" to the end of a line containing a specific keyword. For instance: in.txt: a=1,b=2,c=3 d=4,keyword=5,f=6 g=7 out.txt: a=1,b=2,c=3 d=4,keyword=5,f=6 / g=7 where keyword is the keyword. I take it sed is the right tool, but I haven't seen an example quite like this online. Ideally, I'd like to insert this into a perl script, in case this changes the sed syntax or the same thing can be done in perl w/o sed. Thanks for your help. --Kevin
