Using sed to insert file content

Question

I\'m trying to insert a file content before a given pattern

Here is my code:

sed -i \"\" \"/pattern/ {
i\\\\ 
r $scriptPath/adapters/default/permissi         


        

Answer 1

Just remove i\\.

Example:

$ cat 1.txt
abc
pattern
def

$ echo hello > 2.txt

$ sed -i '/pattern/r 2.txt' 1.txt

$ cat 1.txt
abc
pattern
hello
def
