Thanks Gaurav, I do use both methods, but tend to use mine as it illustrates what the code is doing should anyone else look at it, I agree though that your suggestion is probably more efficient.

You could do something like

cat filename |while read file
do
echo $file |awk '{print $1,$2,$3"abc",$4}' >> newfile
done

Where abc will be joined onto existing text in column 3.
