HOWTO Append String to End of Line
I have a comma delimited text file and need to appened ",000000" to the end of every line. For example:

Before:
"D700000","2006" ,"5000","Open Year" ,"Conversion" ,"Wk64","Productive Payroll $" ,1103.45

After:
"D700000","2006" ,"5000","Open Year" ,"Conversion" ,"Wk64","Productive Payroll $" ,1103.45,"000000"

Thank you in advance for your help.

Another approaches:

Code:
sed 's/.*/&,000000/' file

or:

Code:
awk '{print $0,",000000"}' file
