the no of records is not always the same. In the Input file there may be some more than 100 records we dont no...

BTW the above code has syntax error

Code:

>awk 'END{print $0,"\n""3000004"}1' file1.txt
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

I have bash and it's works fine,but perhaps you have another shell.

echo "3000004" >> FILE1.TXT
