pls try below sed command

Code:

sed -n '/pqr/ !{
p
}
/pqr/ {
p
n
p
n
p
i\
best
}' filename

below is the same with above ( insert line after match)

Code:

sed '/pqr/a\
------------------
/^t$/a\
------------------
' filename

below is the slightly different ( insert line before match line)

Code:

sed '/pqr/i\
------------------
/^t$/i\
------------------
' filename
