I am trying to copy a line from one file to another and add characters to the same line afterwards.
cat $INDIR/files |
while read
do
sed -n 27p $INDIR/files >> $OUTDIR/files
for i in {1..6} ; do echo -n '0.000000e+00 '; done >> $OUTDIR/files
done
It should look like this:
copied text 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00
But it looks like this:
copied text
0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00
How can I avoid the line break that is added to my output?

give this a try:
change your sed line into:
awk 'NR==27{printf "%s ", $0}' $INDIR/files >> $OUTDIR/files
as @devnull commented, you can also do:
sed .... |tr '\n' ' ' >>$OUTDIR/files
