Nice help provided by you guys.

actually issue is I am capturing rs232 data using windows machine & it logs data in text file(notepad ) I copy that file in linux and run your perl script then it adds 0000 at the beginning of the file only .. and other lines remains unchanged,

Seems linux vi editor considering whole file as 1 line only . so how can I make vi to consider every line as new line .

A correction, I Perl the easiest way is:

open $input, "<$ARGV[0]" or die "Cannot open $ARGV[0]";
while(<$input>)
{
    print "0000 $_";
}
close $input;
