My interpretation of your post. Would help to see before and after samples and to mention what environment you have.
Incrementing $add may be different in your shell.

Code:
add=1
while read line
do
    prefix=`echo "${line}"|cut -c1-4`
    if [ "${prefix}""X" = "USER""X" ]
    then
          echo "${add} ${line}"
    else
          echo "${line}"
    fi
    add=`expr ${add} + 1`
done < filename >ft_tmp.log

I can see there being layout problems if this is the output from "ps" appended to a file because it will displace the heading across the screen.

			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.
