sed replace with newline

For substituting with newline use sed command to replace a match with a
not used char and tr command to replace that char with a newline '\n'
#For example:
echo "123." | sed -E 's/([[:digit:]]*)\./\1|next line/' | tr '|' '\n'

sed replace

For using match in sed replacement, just border it with '\(' and '\)':
echo Before123 | sed 's/Before\([0-9]*\)/\1After/g'
123After	# number is matched withtin '\( \)' and replaced in '\1'
Example with 2 match replacements
echo a_b | sed 's/\(^.*\)_\(.*$\)/first is \1 and \2 is after/g'
