Hi, My .bash_profile is: ---------------------- # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin export PATH unset USERNAME ---------------------------- What i'd like to do is from the command prompt or a bash script, insert text after the line "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin". I've searched the web and tried a few tricks, but one worked :( Could you help me please ?
