Add a column at the end of all the lines in a file

Hi Guys, Smilie

I am very much new to UNIX. I dont have much basics of coding in UNIX, so please help me out of thi ssituation.

I have a file say for ex: ABC.dtd and it contains "|" delimited data as

test1|testing|test3|moving
past1|runing|test4|going

I need to add a column at the end of each line as shown below.

test1|testing|test3|moving|D
past1|runing|test4|going|D

for this purpose I am using the command :searches the end of the line i.e "$" and then replaces with "D".

%s/$/D/g

The problem is before the search begins, first I need to implement a function that picks up the file from the specified location and performs search and replace and pushes back thhe file to the original location.
This overall function I need to implement in a ksh script.

Could you please help me out of this?????????

Thanks in advance.

get_included_files - Returns an array with the names of included or required files

SYNOPSIS
array get_included_files (void ) DESCRIPTION
Gets the names of all files that have been included using include(3), include_once(3), require(3) or require_once(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an array of the names of all files. The script originally called is considered an "included file," so it will be listed together with the files referenced by include(3) and family. Files that are included or required multiple times only show up once in the returned array. EXAMPLES
Example #1 get_included_files(3) example <?php // This file is abc.php include 'test1.php'; include_once 'test2.php'; require 'test3.php'; require_once 'test4.php'; $included_files = get_included_files(); foreach ($included_files as $filename) { echo "$filename "; } ?> The above example will output: abc.php test1.php test2.php test3.php test4.php NOTES
Note Files included using the auto_prepend_file configuration directive are not included in the returned array. SEE ALSO
