Appending newline character End of File

Hi Gurus,

Need help. I'm a beginner in Unix. I have a requirement, need to add or append newline (\n) character in file.

Sample Data:

Code:
1|Main|Test|~#
2|Main|Hello|~#
3|Main|Unix|~#
4|Main|File|~#

Output:

Code:
1|Main|Test|~#
2|Main|Hello|~#
3|Main|Unix|~#
4|Main|File|~#\n -- append only for the last line.

Thank You.

Gouri Solleti

use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper; PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx' ) ->print(); INHERITANCE
"PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main" is a PPIx::Regexp::Structure. "PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main" is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Regexp and PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Replacement. DESCRIPTION
This abstract class represents one of the top-level structures in the expression. Both PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Regexp and PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Replacement are derived from it. METHODS
This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the author reserves the right to change or remove them without notice. delimiters This method returns a string representing the delimiters of a regular expression or substitution string. In the case of something like "s/foo/bar/", it will return '//' for both the regular expression and the replacement. interpolates This method returns true if the regular expression or replacement interpolates, and false otherwise. All it really does is to check whether the ending delimiter is a single quote. SUPPORT
