Question sed/awk to insert comment at defined line number

Hi there,

may someone easily help me on this :

I want to insert a text in a specific line number like :

linenumb2start=`cat memory_map.dld | nl -ba | egrep -i "label" | cut -f1`

line2insert=`expr $linenumb2start + 2`

and now I need to replace something like {} with {comment} at $line2insert.

The line actually is :
.appdata {}
and no identifier can be added to use it for search and substitution. Of course, appdata and {} are already used as well in several locations. Therefore, I really need to use the line number.

Do you have a solution using sed or awk ?

Thanks,
homefp
