i want to create a script that will add a constant text "Find this name" at the start and "at your directory" at the end. every line should be added by phrase at the start and end.

Each line of the file should look like "Find this name 0006EME0JRWWKS4X at your directory"
thanks

done < input_file

Using sed:

Code:
sed 's/^/Find this name /g;s/$/ at your directory/g' file

Regards
