I was wondering if someone would help me.
I would like to add the line numbers to a text file using a .bat! it is not possible to do this with gawk. I had the script a few years ago but I lost it. so:
Such as:
hello Sinterklaas is jarig stoomboot leuk hoor
Run the .bat and the file would look like this:
1: hello 2: Sinterklaas is jarig 3: stoomboot leuk hoor

>> it is not possible to do this with gawk. It IS possible to do this in gawk. Its different from "not possible to do this with gawk because environment doesn't allow"
Anyway, here's an gawk solution nonetheless.
{print NR":"$0}
save as script.awk and on command line (or batch)
c:\test> gawk -f script.awk file

It can also be done with a perl command without the need of the intermediate script file that gawk needs.
c:\test>perl -ne "print qq/$.: $_/" file.txt

an intermediate script file is NOT needed actually as gawk can be used like what you did with Perl, a one liner.
c:\test> gawk "{print NR\":\"$0}" file

I doubt it, but I'll stay tuned.
