Need to insert new text and change existing text in a file using SED

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I need to insert new text and change existing text in a file. For that I used the below line in the command line and got the expected output.
sed '$a\
hi...
' shell > shell1
But I face problem when using the same in script. It is throwing the error as,
sed: command garbled: $ahi...

Can anyone please help me to solve my issue??
Thanks in advance!!!

Let we take the contant of the file shell as.
12 routine
13 shell

and I need a new file shell1 with the content of shell along with the appended contant "hi..."

Try:

sed 's/shell/& hi.../' shell > shell1

We could use the following:

awk '{print $0 " hi...."}' shell > shell1
