Add char from CAT output

[fabien]

Hi!

I have the following file :

toto DODO /data/jhksdql
tutu DODO /data/hjdhqsjkd
titi DADA /data/nhjfsk
tata DUDU /data/gafdgz

1) I want to extract the lines with DODO only
so I do "cat file | grep DODO > /tmp/filetmp"

2) Now I want to add "ro" at the end of each line of filetmp to get

toto DODO /data/jhksdql ro
tutu DODO /data/hjdhqsjkd ro

Can I do this in one statement with the previous cat command?

Thanks!

Try this :
[tt]
sed -e '/DODO/!d;s/$/ ro/' file

/DODO/!d <- delete all lines not containing DODO
s/$/ ro/ <- add &quot; ro&quot; at end of line
[/tt]

The awk way:

awk '$2=="DODO"{print $0" ro"}' infile >/tmp/filetmp

Hope This Help

Thanks guys! Jean Pierre's suggestion did not work (sed -e '/DODO/!d part) so I used cat | grep instead. s/$/ ro/ worked fine!

On my AIX box the sed command works fine.
