Your question is not very clear, however if u want to append a text in the beginning and/or at the end of each line of a file, you can try the below

$ cat 1.txt
1
2
3
4
5

Add the text in the beginning of the line :

$ sed -e 's/^/start_of_the_line/' -i 1.txt

Add the text at the end of the line :

$ sed -e 's/$/end_of_the_line/' -i 1.txt

Output

$cat 1.txt
start_of_the_line1end_of_the_line
start_of_the_line2end_of_the_line
start_of_the_line3end_of_the_line
start_of_the_line4end_of_the_line
start_of_the_line5end_of_the_line
