Add text to beginning of awk result

Question

Good day all,

I am running below command:

netstat -an | awk '/:25/{ print  $4 }' | sed 's/:25//' | paste -sd ',' -

which produces

192.168.2.22,127.0.0.1

I would like to amend the result to something like below (to be parsed as a csv by an application)

Manuallyaddedtext 192.168.2.22,127.0.0.1

Many thanks

It would be useful to see an example of the output of `netstat -an` - there is definitely no need to use awk, sed and paste here. — Tom Fenech, Jan 28 '16 at 12:00

It would be nicer to use `printf 'Mytext %s\n' "$(netstat -an | awk ...)"`, where the single awk command is something that I haven't told you yet, because you haven't shown me the output that needs transforming! — Tom Fenech, Jan 28 '16 at 12:48
Not sure how to import the netstat result. The commend section skews the table format. — Archie, Jan 29 '16 at 12:55

That is a ridiculous "solution". Do what @TomFenech asked in his comments and someone will show you a reasonable way to do what you want. – Ed Morton Jan 28 '16 at 14:50
