 Unix Tip #4185- July 27, 2012
 
NUMBERING A FILE  
  
Ever want line numbers  
appended to a file. Here  
is a short script.  
  
awk '{no=no+1; printf"%d : %s", no, $0}' filename > filename.out  
  
Another shorter but not  
necessary elegant method  
is:  
  
grep -n . filename > filename.out  
  
filename is the original file  
filenmae.out is the file with  
line numbers appended at the  
beginning of each line
