I have these commands :

     address=`tail -1  address.txt`
     address="\"0x$address\" : {
     \"balance\": \"1000000000000000000000000000\"}"

I want to execute this

     sed -i  "/{/a $address" genesis.json

but it crashs with this error

     sed: -e expression n°1, caractère 61: commande inconnue: `"'

When i execute the same command whith $c avec $c=abs it works .

Do anyone have an idea about the problem?

Use a JSON-aware tool to edit json files, e.g. `jq`. – choroba Jun 04 '19 at 16:04
What are you trying to accomplish?? Are you looking to replace address in `genesis.json` ? – GoinOff Jun 04 '19 at 16:10
no, I am trying to add $address in genesis.json after { – MS B Jun 04 '19 at 16:28
