Add wild cards to text

[dsm666]

We are moving to a new version of web washer and I need to add * to the begining and at the end of our white list.
the list just contains URL's.
example instead of cisco.com it should be *cisco.com*

Thanks in advance.

Hi

sed 's/.*/*&*/' /whitelist/file > /new/file

[gray]# or[/gray]

awk '$0="*"$0"*"' /whitelist/file > /new/file

[gray]# or[/gray]

while read -r s; do echo "*$s*"; done < /whitelist/file > /new/file
