add text at end of each line

[jawon]

I have a pipe-delimited flat file (say, myfile.txt) that looks something like...

2004-03-16 | user | action

Within a shell script, I'd like to add some text at the end of each line so that the resulting file would look like...

2004-03-16 | user | action | 1

What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

cat myfile.txt | awk '{print $0 " | 1"}'

Or avoiding the UUOC*

awk '{print $0 " | 1"}' myfile.txt > myfile2.txt

We should form SPUUOC*: The Society for the Prevention of UUOC.

And the sed way:
sed 's!$! | 1!' /path/to/input >output

Can't be useless if it does the job. Unnecessary perhaps!!
