I'm trying to use sed to insert a tab followed by a string with quotes (json) followed by a newline on mac on the second line. So far I've got
sed -i '.json' '2i
"1.0.1": "1.0.1.zip",
' file.json
So far that outputs the data without a tab. I tried following a few existing links, like using echo printf, but none of them are working for me.
Also as an aside, if someone can tell me why something like
VERSION=1.0.1
"$VERSION": "$VERSION.zip",
does not work that'd be great as well but that's less important. Thanks!
