Can anyone please help me in writing Shell script to add 3 commas at the end of each line of a file.
Thanks.

You can use "sed":

Code:

cat inputFile | sed -e 's/(.*)/\1,,,/' > outputFile && mv outputFile inputFile

vim works nicely here:

Code:

vim '+:%norm A,,,' '+:wq' file

To save it with a different name:

Code:

vim '+:%norm A,,,' '+:w newfile' '+:q!' file
