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

I got something like this using awk. Looks ugly but did the trick in my test:

command:

cat test.txt | awk '
/pattern/ {
    line = $0;
    while ((getline < "insert.txt") > 0) {print};
    print line;
    next
}
{print}'

test.txt:

$ cat test.txt
some stuff
pattern
some other stuff

insert.txt:

$ cat insert.txt
this is inserted file
this is inserted file

output:

some stuff
this is inserted file
this is inserted file
pattern
some other stuff
