$Variable address in sed
I'm attempting to append a line after a specific address with sed. If I type in the address eg.3 then it will append after the third line. I can't get it to work with a variable though. Does anyone know how to do it please?
sed '/3/a\
text' filename
sed '/\$address/a\
text' filename

append
append(1T) Tcl Built-In Commands append(1T)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
append - Append to variable
SYNOPSIS
append varName ?value value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Append all of the value arguments to the current value of variable varName. If varName doesn't exist, it is given a value equal to the
concatenation of all the value arguments. The result of this command is the new value stored in variable varName. This command provides
an efficient way to build up long variables incrementally. For example, ``append a $b'' is much more efficient than ``set a $a$b'' if $a
is long.
EXAMPLE
Building a string of comma-separated numbers piecemeal using a loop.
set var 0
for {set i 1} {$i<=10} {incr i} {
append var "," $i
}
puts $var
# Prints 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
