How to use the result from a command in SED
Hi all, this is my first post so go gentle.

My goal is to use SED to add data to the end of lines in a file, then send the results to standard output. However, I want to add the result of another command to the end of the lines.

Basically:
Code:
sed 's/$/ insert command stuff here/' file.txt

Here is the command that I would like to use:

Code:
file *.sh | awk -F"/" '{print $3}' | awk '{print $1}'

Now my question: What is the correct syntax for doing this?

Now that I think about it... this might not work. Would that last AWK statement print one item to a line or multiple, assuming what it is AWKing is more than one line.

Ideas?

please provide the sample of file.txt, .sh, and the expect output file.
