sed: insert text after specific character in a specific line












0















Below is my text file:



example.txt
INTERFACESv4=""
INTERFACESv6=""


Below is my code (it inserts an IP address after the 14th character):



ip_add="192.168.1.2"
file_name="$HOMEDocumentsexample.txt"
sed -i "s/^(.{14})/1${ip_add4}/" "$file_name"


Below is the output of my text file:



example.txt
INTERFACESv4="192.168.1.2"
INTERFACESv6="192.168.1.2"


How do I insert the text in just the first line?
