I want to write to first line of an existing text file which has plenty of lines in it. I just wanted to add one line at the starting of the file.

4There's no way to insert at the start of a file. YOu'll have to create a new file, write your new line, then copy the original file's contents after that. – Marc B Nov 20 '13 at 21:54

1@user1614862: nonsense, its perfectly possible the way Marc B described it, read the answers at the link of Howard Renollet. – Doc Brown Nov 20 '13 at 22:00

I understand that, I was just assuming there may be a direct solution with some flag. – user1614862 Nov 20 '13 at 22:13

But copying files from one to another is becoming an overhead, because my files are very huge and they are present at the network location. Any better solution for this? – user1614862 Nov 20 '13 at 22:44
