Hi
I would like to insert a line to many files in a directory :
for example:
abc has to be inserted to files
harry.pf
barry.pf
tom.pf
The common denominator for these files are the "*.pf"
I need to insert "abc" any where inside these pf files.

Any help will be much apreciated
thanks

for FILE in `ls *.pf`
do
echo abc >> $FILE
done

Hi luke Chi
Thanks its works great
Just 1 question, if i have to replace a field in the .pf files for example change
"128" to "256" ? what do I i use.
tried:
for FILE in `ls *.pf`
do
echo sed 's/128/256/g' >> $FILE
done

But it just outputs to screen

thanks for your help

Use:

sed 's/128/256/g' `ls *.pf`

Hi Luke
I tried using `ls *.pf` instead of $FILE but it still also outputs to the screen.
