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

CodeGnome's solution don't work, if the pattern is on the last line.. So I used 3 commands.

sed -i '/pattern/ i\
        INSERTION_MARKER
        ' $manifestFile
sed -i '/INSERTION_MARKER/r $scriptPath/adapters/default/permissions.xml' $manifestFile
sed -i 's/INSERTION_MARKER//' $manifestFile
