If you do not want to use sed or awk, then you can use it with simple comamands. But you should be knowing the line number
For example file contains
cat yourfile
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
I think your intension is to add a line after line 2.
head -2 your file > newfile
echo "new line" >> newfile
tail -2 your file >>newfile
