How to add rows in the middle of a matrix

I have a 1439 by 1 matrix full of doubles that contain numbers. Essentially I want to add 6 rows starting a certain index but I am not sure how I can do this.

What did you try? This is quite a basic Matlab operation. Did you do a toturial?

I managed to add rows but I kept missing values. Also, whatever I was doing just seemed way too tedious to use in the for loop I was running so I wanted to see if there was a different way to do it

newVector = vertcat( yourVector(1:j-1),  sixrows(:),  yourVector(j:end) )
