Inserting a file into another file at certain point

Question

Using a bash script, I'm having difficulty trying place one file into another based on a certain location.

||bob
||mary
||david

destination:

||urty
! comment
||gdfgrw
||fdfdf

So basically drop all of the contents of one file into (below the ! comment) header:

So the destination should look like this:

||urty
! comment
||bob
||mary
||david
||gdfgrw
||fdfdf

What if there are multiple lines like `! comment` ? Do you want to insert only after the 1st one or after all of them ? — don_crissti, Mar 09 '18 at 22:29
