Appending a string to every line in text file

[Seah Hee Chuan]

Hi

I had created a file abc with `ls > abc `.

I need to append a known string eg "zzzzzzz" to the end of everyline .
Is it possible.

hi,

ls | sed "s/$/zzzzzz/" > abc

regards,
Thierry.

Hi Chuan,

You can do the following also:-

#vi abc

inside vi,

:se nu
:1,Xs/$/zzzzzz/g


where 'X' is the last line number
and 'zzzzzzz' is the word to be appended.

using substitution of vi
#vi abc
(change vi mode to command mode) by press ESC, Shift+(;) then type
:1,$:s/^/xxxxxxx

I use the following to solve my problem

sed '1,Xs/$/zzz/' abc > newfile

where X is the number of lines in the abc
