Question : how to add something in the beginning of each  line of a file.
Answer : Use search and Replace and Regular Expression.

For instance, imagine you're named ACAMS and you need to add " to the front of each line

here are the regular expressions to use  (GUI is Frnech, regular expression is international ):
search  : ^(.*)$ : which mean all the line
replace : "\1  : which mean the line prefixed by "

be aware to check 'regular expression'

And to add text to the end of the line you simply put the text after \1
 
Here are the regular expressions to use
 
search: ^(.*)$ (which mean all the line is selected)
replace with: \1Text goes here (put any text or link)
 
Be sure to check 'regular expression'
 
You may have to trim trailing blank spaces, or you will get a space between the last word and your text, unless you want a space.
