inserting uniq sequential numbers at the start of the file
Hi Unix gurus,
I have a file. I need to insert sequential number at the starting of the file. Fields are delimited by "|". I know the starting number. Example: File is as follows |123|4test|test |121|2test|test |x12|1test|test |vd123|5test|test starting number is : 120 output must be : 120|123|4test|test 121|121|2test|test 122|x12|1test|test 123|vd123|5test|test Advance thanks for helping. Jingi
