hi,
I have Multiple files with the following data :

File1

Code:
100414 DR1
END
XXXXX
Test1 Test2 Test3
Test4 Test5 Test6
END

100514 DR2
END
XXXXX
Test7 Test8 Test9
Test10 Test11 Test12
END

100614 DR3
END
XXXXX
Test13 Test14 Test15
Test16 Test17 Test18
END


Required Output:

1. Search for the Date(Lets Say: 100614) and copy the line
2. append at the end of every line after the immediate XXXXX till "END" is encountered along with the file name
3. Same will be done for all files in the folder & the Output will be in another file in the same Folder

Output

Code:
Test13 Test14 Test15 100614 DR3 FILE1
Test16 Test17 Test18 100614 DR3 FILE1

SYNOPSIS

       comm [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2

DESCRIPTION

       Compare sorted files FILE1 and FILE2 line by line.

       With  no  options,  produce three-column output.  Column one contains lines unique to FILE1, column two contains lines unique to FILE2, and
       column three contains lines common to both files.

       -1     suppress column 1 (lines unique to FILE1)

       -2     suppress column 2 (lines unique to FILE2)

       -3     suppress column 3 (lines that appear in both files)

       --check-order
	      check that the input is correctly sorted, even if all input lines are pairable

       --nocheck-order
	      do not check that the input is correctly sorted

       --output-delimiter=STR
	      separate columns with STR
