thanks
If all you need is to append, sed is not necessary.
If you need to insert, before or after a specific line, sed is not necessary.
If you need to insert before or after an specific pattern in a line, you could use sed, but other ways might work better.
Could you post an example representation of your desired output?

lua-config50
lua-config(1) General Commands Manual lua-config(1)
NAME
lua-config - Lua configuration information
SYNOPSIS
Basic usage
gcc ` lua-config --include ` my_prog.c -o my_prog ` lua-config --libs `
DESCRIPTION
The lua-config script allows you to determine useful information about the chosen version of lua running on the Debian GNU/Linux system in
use. More information can be found by running lua-config without any arguments.
CAVEATS
This script is unique to Debian and as such you shouldn't rely on its presence on every system. Lua is an embedded language by default and
different Linux distributions each take a different approach to making it possible to compile with Lua. The pkg-config system also provides
a way to look for libraries and is more likely to be supported across different Linux distributions. Debian's pkg-config name for Lua 5.0
is lua50 and the libraries are in lualib50. These pkg-config files can be found in the liblua50-dev and liblualib50-dev packages.
AUTHOR
lua-config was written by Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@debian.org>.
This manual page was written by Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@debian.org>. For the Debian project. It may be used without restriction in
any other system.
