Greetings

i need to add the contents of a file to the end of each line of a string. It would be easy to do a simple sed 's/mytext/newtext/g'

newtext in this case is an xml file. which needs to stay intact.

my text looks like this

one:two:three:four:five:


output needs to look like this


one:two:three:four: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\
<dict>\
	<key>AccountState</key>\
	<string>Enabled</string>\
</dict>\


So I thought i could ;
REPLACE=/path/to/myfile
cat mytext | sed 's/five/$REPLACE/g'


im getting stuck any assistance would be helpful.
