Hi,
given a plain text file, how can I do, using bash, awk, sed, etc, to, at the line number NLINE, add the string STR, just n spaces after the end of the line?
So, for instance, if this is the line NLINE:
date march 13th
for 5 spaces, we get
date march 13th STR
and one gets the modification in a new file.
Thanks
