Hi,

I have a lot of text files with different information. I want to add
"EDITION: testfolder" to the top of all *.txt files and keep their information.

example:

song1.txt
song2.txt
song3.txt

each containing
"ARTIST: x" (for x = 1 to 3)

and I want the "EDITION: testfolder" to addded to the top of each txt file
song1.txt:
"EDITION: testfolder"
"ARTIST: 1"

song2.txt:
"EDITION: testfolder"
"ARTIST: 2"

song3.txt:
"EDITION: testfolder"
"ARTIST: 3"

any help would be appreciated - there are a lot of subfolders
Thank you in advance
