I have tried the following and just don't understand how to quote for a new
line.
sed s/\/n/\/n\|/g infile>outfile
Thanks

awk '{printf ("%s|\n", $0)}' yourfile
There are perhaps more elegant ways, but this is off the top of my head.

sed ' s/$/\|/ ' infile >outfile
$ is the EOL reqular expression character (^ gets you BOL )
RTFM

1. sed: appending line to end of file
Hi,
I apologise for this newbie question.
I went through a couple of sed documentation on "appending a line to a
file" using the /a command but I could not get the syntax working.
Can someone show me how I can add a line to the end of file in sed?
$> cat test.log
line1
line2
Add "line3" to the end of test.log. Final output:
line1
line2
line3
thanks.
