What RudiC suggested may well do what you want, but your specification is vague. Does
add "word" to the first column mean:
- Add "word" to the beginning of the data in the first column?
- Add "word" to the end of the data in the first column?
- Add "word" as a new field at the beginning of the line?
- Add "word" at a random location in the text currently in the first column?
- Replace the contents of the first column with "word" (which is what RudiC's code does)?
- Something else???
And, unless your input is a single line file, do you want these changes made to the 1st line of the file, the last line of the file, or every line in the file?
Show us sample input and corresponding desired output!
What have you tried so far (both for awk and for vi)?

text::formattable
Text::FormatTable(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::FormatTable(3pm)
NAME
Text::FormatTable - Format text tables
SYNOPSIS
my $table = Text::FormatTable->new('r|l');
$table->head('a', 'b');
$table->rule('=');
$table->row('c', 'd');
print $table->render(20);
DESCRIPTION
Text::FormatTable renders simple tables as text. You pass to the constructor (new) a table format specification similar to LaTeX (e.g.
"r|l|5l|R|20L") and you call methods to fill the table data and insert rules. After the data is filled, you call the render method and the
table gets formatted as text.
Methods:
new($format)
Create a Text::FormatTable object, the format of each column is specified as a character of the $format string. The following formats
are defined:
l Left-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.
L Left-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.
r Right-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.
R Right-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.
10R, 20r, 15L, 12l,
Number is fixed width of the column. Justified and aligned word-wrapped text (see above).
' ' A space.
| Column separator.
head($col1, $col2, ...)
Add a header row using $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents. Note that, at the moment, header rows are treated like normal rows.
row($col1, $col2, ...)
Add a row with $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents.
rule([$char])
Add an horizontal rule. If $char is specified it will be used as character to draw the rule, otherwise '-' will be used.
render([$screen_width])
Return the rendered table formatted with $screen_width or 79 if it is not specified.
