Large file need to append to each line
I have a few large files that need to have a ,A appended to the end of each record. I though about using sed but never used it before and the man is not intuitive nor have I found examples.


This is what I tried for file name bob

sed '\a,A' bob

from what I get if you do not supply a range it will apply it to all records.

Any help would be appreciated.

I can see what you're trying to do. Yes, sed can help you with that:

sed 's/$/,A/g' bob > tmp_00
mv tmp_00 bob
