POSIX compliant sed making newline character



Hello all,

I'm trying to use the command provided at (1):

$ sed '/pattern{N;N;a try\d10}' input-file
sed: -e expression #1, char 0: unmatched `{'

As I understanded, I should make a newline before the right brace.
I thought that '\d10' should do it but as shown above it does not.

What am I missing?


The idea is to be able to append a line two lines after a match while
being POSIX compliant.
