Insert text into file
This command allows you to add specified lines to a text file. The text is added to the end of the file. It will not be added if the first line of the text being added is found in the specified file. This command can be used to add necessary lines to files similar to “hosts”. To delete the added block during deinstallation, you can use the command Delete lines from file. In that case, it is better to begin and finish the text with comments.
