Add symbol to the end of each string in the file

I have txt file with plain text. There are only text strings, something like:

asdasd asd asd asd
asdasdasdasd asd a
asdasdasdasdasdasd

I need to add ; symbol to the end of every string. I need to get:

asdasd asd asd asd;
asdasdasdasd asd a;
asdasdasdasdasdasd;

How can i make this with awk or another text processing utils?

Thank you.

sed 's/$/;/' file

sed replace the end of the string with semi-colon.

if awk is needed (as per OP's requirement) :

awk '1' ORS=";\n" file
