Hi,

I need to insert today's date (dd-mm-yyyy) at the end of each and every line in a text file. I nees #!/bin/sh.


My file as follows.
-------------------------

one , three , ten , five
twelve , ten , five , one
...............................
...............................
one , two , nine , eight

Output file should be:


one , three , ten , five , 25-08-2006
twelve , ten , five , one, 25-08-2006
...............................
...............................
one , two , nine , eight, 25-08-2006

#!/bin/ksh

var=$(date '+%d-%m-%Y')

# using the shell
while read line
do
printf "%s,%s\n" "$line" "$var"
done < text.file

# using awk

awk ' { printf("%s,%s\n", $0, v1) } ' v1="$var" text.file

# using sed

sed "s/$/,$var/" text.file
