Hi
I have a file with numbers like this :

123
456
6798
9073233
12
8644

Now, I need to insert parentheses to each and every line like below :

(123)
(456)
(6798)
(9073233)
(12)
(8644)

can anyone tell me a solution?

You use the following command to achieve it.

sed 's/\(.*\)/\(\1\)/' <filename>
3

Use this,

 sed -r "s/(^[0-9]+$)/(\1)/g" file > opfile
4

or,

sed -e 's/^/(/g' -e 's/$/)/g' file
5 
awk '{print "("$0")"}' urfile
6

In gvim you can

:%s/\d\+/(&)/g
7

Thanks to all . It works fine

Try:

sed 's/.*/{&}/' file

using PERL:-

perl -wlpe  's/$_/($&)/;' infile.txt

perl -wple 's/($_)/($1)/;' infile.txt
