Question Appending unix timestamp to every line of a statistical file

I have a statistical file populating every minute as below:
Code:
2011-11-11-1108	1955	891
2011-11-11-1109	2270	1049
2011-11-11-1110	1930	904
2011-11-11-1111	2030	931
2011-11-11-1112	1944	900
2011-11-11-1113	1922	875

Instead of having the date and time in the given format (2011-11-11-1113) I would like it to view it as a unix timestamp in seconds based on seconds since standard epoch of 1/1/1970. Can anyone assist?Smilie

NAME
deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files SYNOPSIS
/etc/dpkg/origins/filename DESCRIPTION
The files in /etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with '#'. Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, followed by a colon and the body of the field. Fields are delimited only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines in length, but the tools will join lines when processing the body of the field. REQUIRED FIELDS
Vendor: vendor-name The value of this field determines the vendor name. OPTIONAL FIELDS
Vendor-URL: vendor-url The value of this field determines the vendor URL. Bugs: bug-url The value of this field determines the type and address of the bug tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a mailto URL or a debbugs URL (e.g., debbugs://bugs.debian.org/). Parent: vendor-name The value of this field determines the vendor name of the vendor that this vendor derives from. EXAMPLE
Vendor: Debian Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/ Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org SEE ALSO
dpkg-vendor(1) Debian Project 2011-11-10 deb-origin(5)
