The simplest command line (in bash) would be:
for i in *
do echo -en $i >> $i;
done
That would append the filename to the file. Instead of '*' you can use any
pattern. If you have directories while expanding '*', u'd see errors.
If you want a still elegant solution, u can use perl. If u need a script,
let me know.
