Hi Methyl and Ranga,

I`m sorry for the inconvenience and many thanks for the help.

I`m using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 unix bash, thats all i know.

I have included the input and output this time. I need to do this with all files in the directory.

Input

Code:
Bak-2   1       711     T       C       38      6       1       1.28571
Bak-2   1       892     T       G       38      5       1       1
Bak-2   1       3279    G       T       30      3       1       1

Expected output

Code:
Bak-2   chr1       711     T       C       38      6       1       1.28571
Bak-2   chr1       892     T       G       38      5       1       1
Bak-2   chr1       3279    G       T       30      3       1       1

Ranga,

I ran your code, it is doing an infinite loop the printing line1 for file1 repeatedly.
Also I changed the delimiter to tabbed and used BEGIN{FS="\t";} in your code.

Output from Ranga`s code

Code:
Bak-2 chr1 711 T C 38 6 1 1.28571
Bak-2 chr1 711 T C 38 6 1 1.28571
Bak-2 chr1 711 T C 38 6 1 1.28571
Bak-2 chr1 711 T C 38 6 1 1.28571

Please help
