add a sequential number in a particular line for multiple files












0















Can somebody tell me the command to add a sequential number to a particular line in a file and increment the same to other files.



Ex:
I have 5 files (messages)
In line 5 of each message file, I wanted to add incremental sequential number like as Subject: 1 , Subject: 2, Subject: 3 ... Sample output should be as below.



File1: line5: Subject: 1 message
File2: line5: Subject: 2 message
File3: line5: Subject: 3 message
File4: line5: Subject: 4 message
File5: line5: Subject: 5 message
