thanks johnson, much appreciate it

I have a $(whoami) in the line to be inserted and

sed '6a\
text_to_insert
'

is not recognizing it. it inserts $(whoami) instead of the username
any ideas??

I have tried

sed '/6/a text_to_inserted' file > newfile

but this inserts test_to_insert at random places in file and i want it in specific location, which is line 6.


can anyone help....
