Interesting History
The concept of adding prefixes and suffixes to text lines has deep roots in computing history. In the early days of programming, line prefixes were essential for BASIC programming, where each line required a number prefix. The practice evolved with Unix text processing tools in the 1970s, particularly with 'sed' and 'awk', which revolutionized text manipulation. The advent of IDEs in the 1990s brought sophisticated line manipulation features, making tasks like bulk commenting and text formatting more accessible. Today, prefix/suffix processing is fundamental in various applications, from code formatting to data processing, demonstrating how a simple concept has become an essential tool in modern computing.
