Append character to each line in a file 1

[lambic]

Hi,

I have a file containing approx 4500 records & I want to append a character (the same character) at the end of each record. The records can vary in length, and look something like this:

06010230404503 784682874002
074802830467 793526492830
0547349477923B 76203129124B
012632847392 708963462938
0125572393029B 79051289329B

Would I use something like sed to do this?

Many Thanks

A starting point:
sed 's!$!X!' /path/to/input > output

Hope This Helps, PH.
