On your path this would put the line numbers at the end: Code:
sed = test1.txt | sed 'N;s/\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/\2 \1/' An awk alternative would be: Code:
awk '{print $0,NR}' test1.txt |

Use this if the position of the new column never matters, try nl command Code:
nl filename Code:
# cat file asddg asgfdfgh sdastg djsf fj Code:
# nl file
1 asddg
2 asgfdfgh
3 sdastg
4 djsf
5 fj |
