Re: Same text at the beginning of line. Simple Shell-Script?

Is there a easy way to insert the same text (consisting of a few
chars) at the beginning of each paragraph or Sentence in a Document? With
a shell-script or the like? Or with the Editor Vim? Each of the lines
start with numbers, and not with a word.

Anybody got some Ideas, how this can be done?


man sed
man awk

Substitute for newline, newline XXXX etc..

Thanks :-)
