my issue now is i have a txt file containing a list like below

i want to create a script that will add a constant text "Find this name" at the start and "at your directory" at the end. every line should be added by phrase at the start and end.

Each line of the file should look like "Find this name 0006EME0JRWWKS4X at your directory"
thanks

hi,

the below script will adress your requirement,


for text in
do
line=`echo -e "Find this name $text at your directory"`
echo $line >> output_file
done < input_file

Simply:

Using sed:

cat filename | while read line
do
echo "Find this name $line at your directory"
done
