Re: Sed replacement from file
Thx 4 replies all; I ended up taking the perl route because that way, as
long as the expression is in double quotes and not single, I can also
include env variables in the expressions and lines I replace them with.

You might try this :
perl -pe 's/^replace-this$/line one\nline two\nline three\n/' file1 file2
or
cat some_file | perl -pe 's/^replace-this$/line one\nline two\nline three\n/'
Oddly enough, perl -ep doesn't work.
