Hi All
I have a script which has produced a list, I have used 'sed' to number my list, but i want to list at end of line with the first line starting at zero (0) and brackets round it
ie
My List i want

Hello (0)
this (1)
day (2)
can (3)
be (4)

sed '/./=' filename | sed '/./N; s/\n/) /'

Result i am getting using above sed command
1)Hello
2)this
3)day

Thanks if you can sort it.
Any command will do.

Thanx for the quick reply, it works, but when i use that it repeats my list adding the last line each time through the loop until it goes through what info i need to extract, so if my list is very large it will number it for ever.

ie

1
1
2
1
2
3
1
2
3
4
1
2
3
4
5
and so on

but i will play around with it, me and command 'awk' are not the best of friends...lol
Thank you

Thanks guys
Yes the 'awk' did work (my fault) and so did the 'sed'

my 'done' went for a walk somewhere else, its now being grounded with no TV...lol

Cheers
