Shell Programming and Scripting

Well here goes:

I tried to write a batch file that adds a specific fixed text to each line of an already existing text file.

for the adding text infront of each line I tried this:

Code:

for /F "delims=" %%j in (list.txt) do echo.STARTTEXT\%%j >> list.txt

for adding text after each line I haven't figured out how to do it.


HOWEVER:

When I use the code descripted, this:

Code:

1stline

becomes this ->>>

Code:

1stline
STARTTEXT1stline

I want it to be just

Code:

STARTTEXT1line

so to sum it up I want to add something BEFORE and AFTER the 1line (for each line in a text file), like this:

Code:

STARTTEXT1stlineENDTEXT
STARTTEXT2ndlineENDTEXT
STARTTEXT3rdlineENDTEXT
...

Any help is appreciated
