I have following problem.

<File A> contains let say 5 lines but can be changed.

cat
dog
fish
car

if I want to add word to each line then how do I go about it?

I used paste -d but that requires two files having same number of lines but
in my case <File A> changes and I just need to add one word to line from <File A> but lines change depend on data.

thanks

Is this a homework question?

What have you tried so far?

Paste your code.

I've used two different files. file1 contain my reports to managers and second file contain our email domain. Unfortunately, not all the time same number of usres receive the file. so file2 contain domain should just be one word ( mycompany.com ) to be attached to file1 that containing links to webserver for their own individual reporsts

paste -d' ' /usr/local/squid/compweb/tmptxt/4div82indi4httplinks.txt /usr/local/squid/compweb/tmptxt/divemail.txt > /usr/local/squid/compweb/
tmptxt/5div82indireport.txt

but above script only works when both files contain same number of lines.

so I just need to add company domainname (i.e: mycompany.com ) to first link which has link and manager email name.

thank you

basically

nawk -F"," '{printf("echo %s | mail -s \"Corporate \- Weekly Internet Usage Report\"\n",$1)}' < /usr/local/squid/websever/tmptxt/3div82reportlinks.txt > /usr/local/squid/webserver/tmptxt/4div82indi4httplinks.txt

will create

echo http://webserverfw:8081/squid-report...doe/index.html | mail -s "Corporate - Weekly Internet Usage Report
" jdoe

so some how I just need to add @mycompany.com at the end of "jdoe" to make it into "jdoe@mycompany.com" so it can fire off email to the managers.


Not sure how to twick above script to add "@mycompany.com" as part of script.

Not exataly what your looking for but might help you...
