sed : replace space and end-of-line
Hi !

I'm rather new with sed ... learned a lot already by googling etc ...

The following script should replace all spaces and ends-of-lines with "something (see below).

Code:
#!/bin/bash

i=0
while read line
do 
fam="H`printf "%06d" $i`" 
echo $line | sed -e 's/[$ ]/\t'$fam'\n/g' 
i=$(($i+1)) 
done < $1

However, this only seems to replace the spaces, not the ends-of-line.
If I put only
Code:
echo $line | sed -e 's/$/\t'$fam'\n/g'

it does replace the ends-of-line.

To be more specific, if my file looks like this :

a b c
d e

I want it to become

a H000000
b H000000
c H000000
d H000001
e H000001

If anyone has a suggestion : thanks !
Jos

famd

FAMD(8) 								SGI								   FAMD(8)

NAME

       famd - The File Alteration Monitor (FAM) daemon

SYNOPSIS

       famd [-CdflLv] [-C conffile] [-p prog.vers] [-t period] [-T timeout]

DESCRIPTION

       FAM,  the  File Alteration Monitor, is a subsystem that applications can use to be notified when specific files or directories are changed.
       It is intended as a replacement for mechanisms such as poll and select.

       FAM comes in two parts: famd, the daemon that listens for requests and provides notifications, and libfam a library  that  client  applica-
       tions can use to communicate with FAM.  For further information on libfam, see the fam(3) manual page.

       famd  is  normally started by an Internet superserver such as inetd or xinetd, but can also be started independently.  Only one instance of
       famd can be run at a time.

       famd can be configured by editing the famd configuration file (see fam.conf(5) for further details) or by providing the	following  command
       line options:

OPTIONS

       -c conffile
	      Read configuration information from conffile.

       -C     Run in backwards compatibilty mode.  This is disables authentication and is not recommended.

       -f     Run in the foreground.

       -v     Enable verbose messages.

       -d     Enable verbose messages and debug messages.

       -l     Disable polling of files on remote NFS servers.

       -L     Only accept connections from local clients.

       -p prog.vers
	      Register with the portmapper using the specifed RPC program and version numbers.

       -t period
	      Poll a remove NFS server every period seconds to obtain file updates if the remove server is not running famd.

       -T timeout
	      Exit timeout seconds after the last client disconnects.  A value of 0 causes famd to run forever.

SECURITY

       famd never opens the files it's monitoring, and only monitors files that the client can stat.

FILES

       /etc/fam.conf
	      Default famd configuration file.
