Insert Title To Each Lines
I have a command that returns following, but it's missing a title for each line.

YOUR FULL NAME
YOUR ID
YOUR EMAIL
YOUR ADDRESS
YOUR PHONE

Now, I want to add its title to each line:
Name: YOUR FULL NAME
ID: YOUR ID
Email: YOUR EMAIL
Address: YOUR ADDRESS
Phone: YOUR PHONE

Thanks for your help.

Code:
% print 'YOUR FULL NAME
YOUR ID
YOUR EMAIL
YOUR ADDRESS
YOUR PHONE'|perl -lape'$_=ucfirst(lc($F[-1])).": ".$_'
Name: YOUR FULL NAME
Id: YOUR ID
Email: YOUR EMAIL
Address: YOUR ADDRESS
Phone: YOUR PHONE

Ideally, you should fix the command so that it ouputs what you want.

If that is not an option:

Code:
COMMAND | awk '
        NR == 1 { print "Name: " %0 }
        NR == 2 { print "ID: " %0 }
        NR == 3 { print "Email: " %0 }
        NR == 4 { print "Address: " %0 }
        NR == 5 { print "Phone: " %0 }
'
