Batch for numbering lines in a text file

Guys I have two challenges:

1- It is creating a script to count lines in a text file. With that I developed the script below that does the right count and is working perfectly

@echo off
cls
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set "cmd=findstr /R /N "^^" myfile.txt | find /C ":""

for /f %%a in ('!cmd!') do set number=%%a
echo myfile.txt: %number% 
pause

2- It is to create a new column that number the lines of the file.

Example: The file looks like this:

a
b
c
d
e
f

It should look like this:

a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4
e 5
f 6

does anyone know if it is possible to do this action in .bat?
