Add suffix to strings in a file using Awk

Guys, in my previous post yesterday, we discussed how to add a prefix to strings in a file using Awk. Today lets work on the same example to add a suffix to the strings i.e append the strings with characters in the end.

We'll use the same set of phone numbers for formatting :

2127841212
3458922345
7713398403
6461228847

Let's add some characters to the these numbers in the end. How about something like " Extn : 7142". Here's the Awk code to do it below :

awk '{print $0 " Extn : 7142"}' Phones_unformatted.txt

Output :

2127841212 Extn : 7142
3458922345 Extn : 7142
7713398403 Extn : 7142

6461228847 Extn : 7142
