Hi there.
Maybe you should use sed.
Try doing something like:

Code:
sed -i.bkp 's/^/filenameU/' your_input_file.txt

Is your columns delimited by tab or spaces?
In case of tabs, and, if you're using bash, just replace the U character mentioned aboved by Ctrl-V then the TAB key. This will let you get the TAB you need.
That's it. Hope it helps.
