How to add static lines to short file?
I've got a simple log file that looks something like this:

Quote:
1.1.1.1 www.aaa
1.1.1.1 www.aaa
1.1.1.1 www.aaa
2.2.2.2 www.aaa
3.3.3.3 www.aaa
And I need to append it to look like this:

Quote:
1.1.1.1 www.aaa date_time validated
1.1.1.1 www.aaa date_time validated
1.1.1.1 www.aaa date_time validated
2.2.2.2 www.aaa date_time validated
3.3.3.3 www.aaa date_time validated
So I just want to add a timestamp and a static (non-variable) word to each line in the file. Is there an easy scripted way to cat the file and append that data to each line....??

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

sed "s/$/ $(date +%D_%H:%M:%S) validated/" myFile

Thanks for quick reply. But that sed code is giving me this error:

" sed: -e expression #1, char 11: unknown option to `s' "

And actually I already have variables for the two entries that I want to append to each line ('$time' and '$valid'). Does that make it any simpler...?

sorry...
Code:
sed "s=$= $(date +%D_%H:%M:%S) validated=" kevin.txt
OR
sed "s=$= ${time} ${valid}=" kevin.txt

Awesome. Actually I fixed it by changing the / slashes in your original line to be | pipes instead. All good to go now. Thanks so much for help.
