I am trying to insert a newline before the first line of text in a file. The only solution i have found so far is this:
sed -e '1 i
')
I do not like to have an actual newline in my shell script. Can this be solved any other way using the standard (GNU) UNIX utilities?
A
$before a single-quoted string will cause bash to interpret escape sequences within it.
