I want to insert a new line before the last occurrence of brace. My text file looks like that



 "accounts": 
"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000008": "builtin": "name": "alt_bn128_pairing", "activate_at": "0x0", "pricing": "alt_bn128_pairing": "base": 100000, "pair": 80000 ,
"0x00Ea169ce7e0992960D3BdE6F5D539C955316432": "balance": "1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376"



So what I want to do is adding a new account through sed script.



Please note that the new account will be specified with a variable, something like:



"$ACCOUNT_ADDR": "balance": "1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376"
