You specified that BB was to be /replaced/ with BBBB1, so you will
need to do this:
[sam@samlap Desktop]$ sed -e '/BB/R file2' -e '/BB/d' file1
AA

My bad - I meant to say "insert" not replace because I had another
version of the that doesn't have "BB" in it.
Thanks for pointing it out to me, though.
