Hi List
I have 1000 lines in my data file. I want to add
'(comma) at the begining and end of each line.
Oh, and I almost forgot a ksh example
(Perl? What's Perl?)
cat your_file | while read LINE; do echo '$LINE'; done
Or
while read LINE; do echo '$LINE'; done your_file

Since there has been an AWK reply, there should be a SED reply too.
(Perl? What's Perl?)
sed s/^/'/; s/\$/'/ your_file
sed 's/^/'\''/; s/$/'\''/' your_file

Hmmm - we call that symbol a 'quote' (and I have used quotes to quote quote,

Various ways - if your data is in a text file - use an edit macro
If it is a field in an Oracle table which you are extracting to a file - try
this:
select * (other fields) ,
Or text editor that can work with columns
Or MSExcel

I'll refrain from answering. My non-rtfm answer would neither be sed
nor awk. If I responded , my response would be something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
while () {
s/^/'/;
s/$/'/;
print;
}

Open the file in vi, run the following command:
