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.

can you try
sed 's/$/java$/g' File.EXT > file
I think it will work.

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.
