Date/Time Stamp

Hi All,

Wondering if there is have a date added at the end of a test string. I have a hypothetical text file day one:

John
Paul
George

When the file day one is output, I'd like it to read something like this:

John 101406
Paul 101406
George 101406

Day two, when the same text file is appended, I'd like to it to read something like this (never losing the original date stamps):

John 101406
Paul 101406
George 101406
Ringo 101506

I'm quite a UNIX novice. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all!
