Adding words to beginning of lines
I have a file that contains a great number of lines, let's say 183 lines, and I want to add: echo " to the beginning of each line. What is the easiest way to do it?

Thanks!
This command works: sed 's/.*/echo "&"/' What if I want at the same time to add something to the end of each line. i.e echo "unixtest=test" >> firsttest what would the command be to add the >> firsttest to teh end of each line
