Insert a line including Variable & Carriage Return / sed command as Variable
I want to instert Category:XXXXX into the 2. line

something like this should work, but I have somewhere the wrong sytanx. something with the linebreak goes wrong:

sed "2i\\${n}Category:$cat\n"

Sample:

Titel Blahh Blahh abllk sdhsd sjdhf
Blahh Blah Blahh
Blahh

Should look like this afterwards;

Titel Blahh Blahh abllk sdhsd sjdhf
Category:The Blahh
Blahh Blah Blahh
Blahh

2. Question: how should the syntax be, if the sed command itself should be a variable, like:

insertcat="sed "2i\\${n}Category:$cat\n""
