[Help] Using >> to transfer text to an specific line or under a specific header

[FelipeRearden]

Hello @Taitava !!!!

Do you know if we have an command to append text to a file at an specific line ?

My user case: I wanna append text under an specific header in the file INP.md

I searched but I didn't find anything direct to this case :(

I could use an Obsidian URI to do this but the problem here is that it will open the destination note :(

Have a great day!

Hi @FelipeRearden !

How about: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22159219/2754026
I do not know if this helps or not.

See also the comment in that answer:

How to make this change in-place? Is there a better solution than my dirty hack? awk '{if (/^After\=/) {$0=$0 " postgresql.service"}; print}' jetty.service > jetty.service.tmp && mv -f jetty.service.tmp jetty.service

And there the question seems to be how to insert at the end of a certain line, not below it, but I guess a simple \n should help you put the inserted text on a new line?

@Taitava !!!!

Thank you very much for one more help. I think the awk is the best way to achieve this.

Let me just study a little bit this stack overflow post to understand before doing something. I get back to you when I finish this.

But I think that you found exactly what I was looking for :)

Have a great day!
