I have a text file which contains 10 million+ lines. The file looks like as bellow:



1902400023
1902400029
1902400031
1902400032


I wanted to add a heading, incremental ID number and a constant SHORTCODE.
Expecting Result:



ID,MSISDN,SHORTCODE
1,1902400023,1
2,1902400029,1
3,1902400031,1
4,1902400032,1


And this will continue to till the end of file and write in another file.

          I guess you need an awk code as follows



          awk 'BEGIN OFS = ","; header="ID,MSISDN,SHORTCODE" NR == 1 print header 
          $2 = $0; $1 = NR; $3 = 1; 1' file


          In the BEGIN clause, we set the output field separator to the , operator and initialize the header string. When the file is processed, on the first line we insert the header and from the subsequent lines, we insert the lines as you've shown in the OP. NR is a special variable in the context of awk that tracks the line number which we use for your incremental counter.

          Here you can use awk command like below to add line numbers :



          $ awk 'printf("%d:%sn", NR, $0)' millionlinetextfile > linenumberedfile

          • I just tried your command with few medication. I got the output same as I wanted except that heading line. I used the command awk 'printf("%d,%s,1n", NR, $0)' file1.txt > file2.txt
