Hi

I've one file full of paths of certain files and I want to add some extra file words in front of all the paths. for eg:

i have a file name test.txt which show some details only..

024_hd/044/0344eng.txt
035_bv/222/editor.jpg

here I want to add /usr/people/indiana/ infront of all the files so that i can have like this..

/usr/people/indiana/024_hd/044/0344eng.txt
/usr/people/indiana/035_bv/222/editor.jpg

in a new file..

Can someone help me to create a script for this?

Rath
