In a peculiar case I needed some of my text files to append with line number at the end. How to achieve this?

The awk program stores the current line in variable $0 and the record number ("line number") in NR. This command will print the lines with a line number appended:



awk '{ print $0, NR }' yourfile.txt


For prepending line numbers, there also exist the nl command ("number lines of files"):



nl yourfile.txt
