Hi,


Is there a way to edit each line in a file, without involving 2 files? Say, the original file has,

test01
test02
test03

I want to edit it like
test01,a
test02,a
test03,a

Tried something like this, but it replaces some of the characters. 
File.open('mytest.csv', 'r+') do |file|
      file.each_line do |line|        
          file.seek(-line.length, IO::SEEK_CUR)
          file.puts 'a'        
      end
end

Writing it to a temporary file and then replace the original file works, However, I need to edit the file quite often and therefore prefer to do it within the file itself .Any pointers are appreciated.

Thank you!
