Add row, awk, sed ?
I wrote script in bash which generates this report:

phrase1;phrase2;phrase3;phrase4;phrase5;phrase6;phrase7;phrase8
phrase9;phrase2;phrase10;phrase4;phrase11;phrase12;phrase13;phrase14
phrase15;phrase16;phrase17;phrase18;phrase19;phrase20;phrase21;phrase22
...

I would like add name only columns, for example:

Column1;Column2;Column3;Column4;Column5;Column6;Column7;Column8
phrase1;phrase2;phrase3;phrase4;phrase5;phrase6;phrase7;phrase8
phrase9;phrase2;phrase10;phrase4;phrase11;phrase12;phrase13;phrase14
phrase15;phrase16;phrase17;phrase18;phrase19;phrase20;phrase21;phrase22
...

How to do this ?
Thx

To prepend a text with a new first line use:

Code:
sed '1 s/^/sometext\n/' infile > outfile

I hope this helps.
