I want to put a newline in my output with sed. Something like sed "/NAME */NAME \n/" inputfile in other words, replace each occurrence of NAME followed by one or more spaces with NAME followed by a newline. \n doesn't quite seem to do it, however, and I get a literal "n" in my output. I have been able to embed a carriage return (^M) but not a linefeed (it doesn't show up as a control character, but rather, breaks the line in the script. HELP!
