STDOUT prefix

Fredde87 · 06-13-2008, 04:11 AM

Hi,

Quick question, I want to output all the STDOUT from a script to a log file . At the moment I run it using the standard "./scriptname >> /tmp/myfile" method.

But I also echo other scripts into this same file at the same time. Can I add a prefix in front of each line from "scriptname" so that I can destinguise what script has outputed what into /tmp/myfile?

Thanks!

Stupid me, realised I could do it with SED just after I posted this.

Here is a example if anyone else would need it,

./scriptname | sed 's/^/Prefix-/g' > /tmp/myfile
