Add the word "prefix" to beginning of line using sed
SUSE linux
bash shell

this works
Code:
test -d /tmpp && echo "directory exists" || echo "directory doesn't exists"  |sed -e "s/^/prefix /"
   prefix directory doesn't exists

but why doesn't this work?
Code:
 test -d /tmp && echo "directory exists" || echo "directory doesn't exists"  |sed -e "s/^/prefix /"
   directory exists

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
