Adding Line Numbers to a text file
Arnzie
which prints line numbers.
I have a text file with the code from a program I made in Borland JBuilder,
and I want to add line numbers to the start
for easy reference. If anybody knows of such a program, could they please
email me at mka...@ballarat.starway.net.au
Any help I recieve will be much appreciated.
Thank you

If your Unix has it, you can use the nl(1) utility. Otherwise, some
versions of cat(1) can do line numbering for you. Failing all that, try
using a little awk(1) script along the lines of:
$ awk '{print NR, $0}' file > newfile

'cat -n' will number each line.

Download this file (about 830k) of the Unix text utilities:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/txt122b.zip
These are the standard suite of GNU text utilities ported to
MS-DOS. You'll find that nl.exe is a flexible, powerful program for
numbering lines -- that's all it's intended to do. You can also number
lines with "cat.exe -n filename", but nl has more options.
