Add string number to lines
So I have a file in the form

Code:
>
akdfvcnciejcndmdjfk
>
kdjkkkifjeeeeelfjfuf
>
fjfhchdejhfhfhfhfhfhf
>
skdkdhfhvnvncnccm

and I would like it to come out in the form

Code:
>1
akdfvcnciejcndmdjfk
>2
kdjkkkifjeeeeelfjfuf
>3
fjfhchdejhfhfhfhfhfhf
>4
skdkdhfhvnvncnccm

I think it would be possible with awk or sed, but not quite sure on how to implement it.
