add numbered bulletpoints to grep output
I would like to add "word -esque" numbered bulletpoints to the output of a grep search, which has multiple hits for the search term

i.e. grep x filename

1) abcd x
2) efgh x
3) ijkl x

I dont have a clue to how to start writing such a script, i cant use SED or AWK so i was maybe thinking of using a loop ... would i be right?

any help at all would be gratefully appreciated.Smilie

thanks soooo much in advance

Why can't you use awk? It would be trivial.

Judging by this and other posts, becasue it is homework. Thread closed.
