Modification of data group in CLI mode

Suppose I have a datagroup say name as xyz which contains only strings. But there are around 150 strings added in the data group. Now I want to modify the data group where I want to add another 150 new strings. If I do manually it will take lots of time. How to do it in VI editor or any other alternative method via CLI mode?

    You could use TMSH:

    modify ltm data-group internal testdg records add { test-key { data test-value } }

    You could also simply replace the entire data group.

    If you want to update from a file just keys without values try this...

     tmsh list ltm data-group internal dg1
ltm data-group internal dg1 {
    records {
        a { }
        b { }
    }
    type string
}

 more updates.txt 
c
d
e
f

 for a in `cat updates.txt`; do tmsh modify ltm data-group internal dg1 records add { $a } ; done

 tmsh list ltm data-group internal dg1
ltm data-group internal dg1 {
    records {
        a { }
        b { }
        c { }
        d { }
        e { }
        f { }
    }
    type string
}
