String Append

I have the following code:

blablabla.1 {
  row1.withCode
  row2.withCode
  row3.withCode
  row4.withCode
}

blablabla.2 {
  row1.withCode
  row2.withCode
  row3.withCode
  row4.withCode
}

blablabla.3{
  row1.withCode
  row2.withCode
  row3.withCode
  row4.withCode
}

blablabla.1 {
  row1.withCode
  row2.withCode
  row3.withCode
  row4.withCode
}

blablabla.2 {
  row1.withCode
  row2.withCode
  row3.withCode
  row4.withCode
}

blablabla.3{
  row1.withCode
  row2.withCode
  row3.withCode
  row4.withCode
}

i read the lines with File.ReadAllLines in an index[i] and search for string "blablabla.2" this is found on line 100 (example) Now I would have to add a line after row2.withCode. Can someone help me with that?

you're gonna need to clarify what is that code supposed to do? what file are you reading?

File is an Textfile and the text in it should be changed and then saved again
