Sometimes you might have required to add just a specific string at the beginning of a file.
so don't worry our friend SED will help us out.
Example
I have a file named as myweekdays.txt that contains all the weekdays as.
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# cat myweekday.txt
Sun
Mon
Tue
Thu
Fri
Sat
Now i need to simlpy add Weekdays at the beginning of the same file to look it as
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# cat myweekday.txt
Weekdays
Sun
Mon
Tue
Thu
Fri
Sat
SED Command to do.
Check and verify the output using
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# sed -e ' 1iWeekdays\' imyweekday.txt
Write the orignal file using -i parameter
[root@cyberkeeda ~]# sed -i -e ' 1iWeekdays\' imyweekday.txt
To add string after the last line use
ReplyDeletesed -e ' $aWeekdays\' to make the file look as
Sun
Mon
Tue
Thu
Fri
Sat
Weekdays
