Change last line of file using sed

Comment:

Hi, I wish to add "\" symbol at the end of each line of a file, except the last one. e.g. Original file: (OBJ)/a.o (OBJ)/b.o (OBJ)/c.o (OBJ)/d.o Desired ouput: (OBJ)/a.o \ (OBJ)/b.o \ (OBJ)/c.o \ (OBJ)/d.o Asst. Systems Engineer Tata Consultancy Services

You can use "sed" to do the Job. Try this sed '$q;s/$/\//g' inputfile > outputfile This will produce the output as (OBJ)/a.o / (OBJ)/b.o / (OBJ)/c.o / (OBJ)/d.o -Devaraj Takhellambam Regards, Devaraj Takhellambam

sorry , use sed '$q;s/$/\\/g' sedfile. I had mistaken for a "\" with a "/". Regards, Devaraj Takhellambam
