To insert a line in a file in Linux, you can use various command-line tools such as sed, awk, or echo. Here are a few methods to accomplish this task:
- Using sed:
sed 'Ninew_line' file > temp && mv temp file
This command will insert a new_line after the Nth line in the file. Replace N with the line number you wish to insert after.
- Using awk:
awk 'NR==N {print "new_line"} 1' file > temp && mv temp file
This command will insert a new_line after the Nth line in the file. Replace N with the desired line number.
- Using echo and tee:
head -n N file > temp && echo "new_line" >> temp && tail -n +N file >> temp && mv temp file
This command will insert a new_line after the Nth line in the file. Replace N with the line number.
Remember to replace "new_line" with the actual content you want to insert. Additionally, make sure to back up your file before performing any such operations.
