Add extra columns help
Hi Gurus,

This below script adds a column extra to my flat file..But how can i add another column, Say if i just put mention an other column beside the first column..it does get generated but as one column only

Code:
while IFS="" read r; do
printf "dummy\t%s\n" "$r" 
done < xxx.txt > zzz.txt

I kept another column dummy2 next to dummy.. it gets generated, separated by a tab as well but when reimport into my code..I see it as a single column
