                          inputs:

    line1 with the PATTERN that contains ( ) 
    line2 with the PATTERN that contains ( ) 
    lineN with the PATTERN that contains ( ) 

outputs:

    line1 with the PATTERN that contains ( ) ;
    line2 with the PATTERN that contains ( ) ;
    ...
    lineN with the PATTERN that contains ( ) ;

I tried this:

    find . -name "test.txt" -print | xargs sed -i "/PATTERN/ s/$)/); /g"

but it didn't work.
