Add a block of code at the end of a specific block
I need to search for a block with the starting pattern say
"tabId": "table_1", and ending pattern say "]"
and then add a few lines before "]"
Code:
"block1":"block_111"
"tabId": "table_1",
"title":"My title"
.....
....
}]

how do I achieve it using awk and sed.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Where should those lines be added? Immediately following the starting pattern? Just before the ending pattern, eventually splitting that "}]"?

Code:
"block1":"block_111" 
"tabId": "table_0",
 "title":"My title"
 ..... .... 
}]
"block1":"block_111"
 "tabId": "table_1", 
"title":"My title" 
..... ....
 }]
"block1":"block_111" 
"tabId": "table_2",
 "title":"My title" 
..... .... 
}]

It should get changed to

my start patten is
"tabId": "table_1" and my end pattern is the first matching "]"
Code:
"block1":"block_111"
 "tabId": "table_0", 
"title":"My title" 
..... .... 
}]
"block1":"block_111"
 "tabId": "table_1", 
"title":"My title" 
..... .... 
}
my newline1
my newline2
]
"block1":"block_111" 
"tabId": "table_2", 
"title":"My title" 
..... .... 
}]

No attempts from your side? pity...
However, try
Code:
awk     '$0 ~ ST        {FND=1}  
         $0 ~ EN &&
           FND  {sub(EN"$","");print
                         while (1 == getline < IF) print
                         print EN
                         FND=0  
                         next
                        }
         1
        ' ST='"tabId": "table_1"' EN="]" IF=newlinefile file
