how i can add Add text at the beginning of each line?

for example:- i have file contain:- /var/lib/svn/repos/b1me/products/payone/generic/code/core /var/lib/svn/repos/b1me/products/payone/generic/code/fees /var/lib/svn/repos/b1me/products/payone/generic/code/2ds

i want it to become:-

svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo/var/lib/svn/repos/b1me/products/payone/generic/code/core svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo/var/lib/svn/repos/b1me/products/payone/generic/code/fees svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo/var/lib/svn/repos/b1me/products/payone/generic/code/2ds

in other word i want to add "svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo" at the beginning of each line of this file

to get this to work you are going to have to add an svn command to the beginning of each line too e.g. svn list svn+ssh://svn.xx.com.jo/var ... – Iain♦ Sep 22 '10 at 9:57

If your text is a file named "file.txt" you use this command line

awk '{print "svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo" $1}' file.txt

It will output what you want. (assuming that no path contain a space)

Using sed:

sed 's|^|svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo|' filename

To change the file in place:

sed -i 's|^|svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo|' filename

Your version of sed may need -e: sed -e 's|^|svn+ssh://svn.xxx.com.jo|' filename – Dennis Williamson Sep 22 '10 at 10:10
