The *best* answer would be to find some kind of tool that's dedicated to editing YAML streams. I don't know YAML or its tools, so I have no recommendations there. If you want a second-best answer, you can use sed: hobbit:~$ seq 3 | sed $'/2/a\\\n color: red\\\n weight: \'1 kg\'\\\n origin: "Country x"' 1 2 color: red weight: '1 kg' origin: "Country x" 3 The $'...' quoting is bash-specific, so this is actually a bash+sed answer.
