Numbering lines grep

Is there a way to number lines and use something other than ":" to separate the number from the line?

Or can anyone recommend a way to replace the ":" with a tab?

Here's what I'm working with:

16859:52.67
16860:46
16861:39.63
16862:33.88
16863:29.64
16864:26.27
16865:22.09
16866:19.7
16867:10.78
16868:7.31
16869:2.75
16870:2.69
16871:357.89
16872:354.73
16873:352.99


Thanks,

JD

cat -n file1
will display line numbers for file1

tr ":" "\t" <file1 >file2
will convert file1 : to tab in file2
