any sed gurus?

[sumgirl]

I have an odd request...I have a parent directory with several child directories. Each child directory has a file named "template" in it. I would like to insert one line into every "template" file in every child directory. I want this new line to contain the path and file name for that "template" file. I have been fiddling with different, failed methods of doing this all morning.

Anyone? Please help!

Could you not do a:

for i in `find /parentdirectory -name template`
do
echo $i >> $i
done

This would print the path and filename and append to the end of each file.

What a doofus I am! I was so wrapped up in doing this with a one line sed command that I totally ignored the obvious and simplest solution...thanks!
