Need to insert new text and change existing text in a file using SED

Hi all,

I need to insert new text and change existing text in a file. For that I used the below line in the command line and got the expected output.
sed '$a\
hi...
' shell > shell1
But I face problem when using the same in script. It is throwing the error as,
sed: command garbled: $ahi...

Can anyone please help me to solve my issue??
Thanks in advance!!!
Geetha
