hi, i need to add a string like /java at the end of each line in a file. i tried it using commands like tr '\012' '/java\012' but i think tr command only replaces a character. tried it using sed command ..but that also doesnt work. please help. thanks.

java$ will obviously work...but simply /java substitution will work as well. Though I cannot explain why. I will leave that to the Gurus of this forum. -Anukta

OOPS....sorry java$ substitution will not work...it will actually do a literal substitution with "java$".
