Insert a line at specific line number with sed or awk

Solution 1:

sed -i '8i This is Line 8' FILE

inserts at line 8

This is Line 8

into file FILE

-i does the modification directly to file FILE, no output to stdout, as mentioned in the comments by glenn jackman.

Solution 2:

An ed answer

ed file << END
8i
Project_Name=sowstest
.
w
q
END

. on its own line ends input mode; w writes; q quits. GNU ed has a wq command to save and quit, but old ed's don't.
