I am trying to write a script, which appends and prepends the text in a file.
I tried testing with a small file and it worked fine.
but for the large file, the script is wiping the entire file and adds only the word to be appended in the file.
i execute my script like ./script_name prepend-word append-word filename
Please suggest, I am not very familiar with scripting.
Thanks
Satya
