This is probably simple but I would like to print every line in a file 5 times like this:

awk 'NR' mens_csv.tab

Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Dark Green						0	 $22.50 
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Indigo Blue						0	 $22.50 

---------------

Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Dark Green						0	 $22.50 
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Dark Green						0	 $22.50 
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Dark Green						0	 $22.50 
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Dark Green						0	 $22.50 
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Dark Green						0	 $22.50 
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Indigo Blue						0	 $22.50
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Indigo Blue						0	 $22.50
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Indigo Blue						0	 $22.50
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Indigo Blue						0	 $22.50
Dub Tank	53%Hemp/42%Cotton/5%Lycra Jersey	Indigo Blue						0	 $22.50

awk '{for(i=0;++i<5;)print}1' file

With Perl:

perl '-pe$_ x=5' infile

A sed alternative:

sed 'p;p;p;p' file

An awk alternative:

awk '1;1;1;1;1' file

A paste alternative:

paste -d\\n file file file file file

A sh alternative:

while IFS= read -r s; do
    printf '%s\n' "$s" "$s" "$s" "$s" "$s"
done < file
