Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I want to add two fields with values '1000' and 'XYZ-1234' at the end of every line in a comma delimited file.
Should I use any command in a loop to add the fields or using any single command Shall I acheive it?
Kindly help me in code.

Thanks,
Poova.

Code:

sed 's/$/1000,XYZ-1234/' file

Small Change :

Code:

sed 's/$/,1000,XYZ-1234/' file

Thanks all... It's working. I was supposed to pass variable for 1000 and XYZ-1234 there. So I changed the command to ,

Code:

sed "s/$/,$id1,$id2/" file

When using single quote it was not working.

Try this:

Code:

sed 's/$/,'$1','$2'/' ifile

If the replacement text in your variables contains characters or sequences which are special to sed, this approach will not work. Examples of such characters/sequences include '&', '/' (if default regular expression delimiters are being used), '\' followed by anything (it's either a defined escape sequence or an undefined sequence which may result in the loss of a backslash in your replacement text).

Assuming that your two values are stored in the shell variables $a and $b:

Code:

a='your 1st value'
b='your 2nd value'

The following are safe alternatives, one is pure shell (printf is usually a built-in these days) and the other is AWK:

Code:

while IFS='' read -r line; do printf '%s,%s,%s\n' "$line" "$a" "$b"; done < data

awk '{printf("%s,%s,%s", $0, a, b RS)}' a="$a" b="$b" file
