Once you verify everything is proper, you can use -i option to edit the file itself, i.e. sed -i .... Otherwise, you can always make a copy of the file with sed 's/^[[:digit:]]*$/number-&/' input.txt > output.txt



Note that this assumes consistent file format, with no leading whitespaces or trailing whitespaces on each line.

lines that contain ONLY numbers




It's unclear whether you mean numbers or just 0-9. Here's a Perl one-liner that picks out the likes of 123, 3.14 and 1e-12 while ignoring various representations of infinity and not-a-number:



$ perl -MScalar::Util -ne 'chomp; if (!(m/^s/ || m/^[+-]?inf(?:inity)?$/i || m/^nan$/i) && Scalar::Util::looks_like_number($_)) print("N:"); print("$_n");' <x
a
N:123
N:+1
N:-1
1
b

1a
N:3.14
c
3.1415926 is an approximation of pi
N:1e-12
inf
Inf
Infinity
Infinity +1 sword
+Infinity
-infinity
NaN
1/2


I changed the prefix to "N:" simply because "number--1" looks a bit rubbish. Note that this treats " 1", for example, as not numeric. If that is undesirable behaviour, do not include the "m/^s/" test for leading whitespace.



If you mean "0-9", Sergiy's sed solution above is fine.

lines that contain ONLY numbers




It's unclear whether you mean numbers or just 0-9. Here's a Perl one-liner that picks out the likes of 123, 3.14 and 1e-12 while ignoring various representations of infinity and not-a-number:



$ perl -MScalar::Util -ne 'chomp; if (!(m/^s/ || m/^[+-]?inf(?:inity)?$/i || m/^nan$/i) && Scalar::Util::looks_like_number($_)) print("N:"); print("$_n");' <x
a
N:123
N:+1
N:-1
1
b

1a
N:3.14
c
3.1415926 is an approximation of pi
N:1e-12
inf
Inf
Infinity
Infinity +1 sword
+Infinity
-infinity
NaN
1/2


I changed the prefix to "N:" simply because "number--1" looks a bit rubbish. Note that this treats " 1", for example, as not numeric. If that is undesirable behaviour, do not include the "m/^s/" test for leading whitespace.



If you mean "0-9", Sergiy's sed solution above is fine.
