Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I just wanted to know if you have any idea or script to insert a text at everyend of the line, the text will vary. for example

sample:
this is line1 ok
this is line2 ok
this is line3 ok

output:

this is line1 ok /home/line1.txt
this is line2 ok /home/line2.txt
this is line3 ok /home/line3.txt

thanks

you have posted previously on shell scripting issues. by now you should already know how to do it as its very simple and its a very common task. If you have issues, check the top of this thread at the "More UNIX and Linux Forum Topics You Might Find Helpful" box. there are similar threads regarding your issue. try your best.

for i in `cat file|awk '{print $3}' hostss`; do sed "s/$/ $i.txt/g" file; done

it doesnt work, and i have checked the topics above,none was relevant to mine

a lot of redundancy is used in the above code. standard way of doing is simply go through the file with a loop, and echoing/printing out the original line plus the next text

Code:

while read line
do
  # echo the line and the new text.
done < file

other ways include using sed and substituting $ for the new text, which you have already done above, but no need to cat and awk the file.

if you want to use awk, its the same concept, you can either use gsub() to substitute the newline, or just print the record out plus the new text

sorry ghost but i cant realyy get it, im not really a programmer im a sysad i jsut wanted to make my work so easy..

sample:
this is line1 y
this is line2 y
this is line3 y

output:
this is line1 y > /home/aa/line1.txt
this is line2 y > /home/aa/line2.txt
this is line3 y> /home/aa/line13txt

while read i
do
a=$(echo $i|awk '{print $2}')
echo $(echo $i $a.txt)
done < a


got it

Code:

sed 's/\(\<.*\>\) \(\<.*\>\) \(\<.*\>\) \(\<.*\>\)/\1 \2 \3 \4 \/home\/\3\.txt/' a.txt
