Utilities
Prepend one string to each line in a file or folder.
overview
Sit prefix-file-lines between recon output and any stage that expects scheme-qualified URLs or rooted paths.
Operators reach for it when a host list, wordlist, or merge sink needs the same prefix on every line without writing a script.
Inputs are file or folder plus prefix-string. For end-of-line stamps use suffix-file-lines; for structured URL rewrite use unfurl or qsreplace.
use cases
Prefix a list of hostnames with https:// so a crawler or HTTP prober downstream receives well-formed URLs instead of bare names.
Add the scheme, parameter, or label a downstream node expects so two stages connect without a custom script in between.
Prefix each line with a source marker so that when several files merge into one sink, you can still tell where each entry came from.

Use when the next stage needs a fixed prefix on every line, such as https:// on bare hosts. Prefer suffix-file-lines to append. Prefer unfurl or qsreplace for component-level URL edits.
Mirror tool that appends a string to the end of each line instead of the start.
Parses and reformats URL components. Use when you need structured rewrite, not a flat prefix.
Appends only new unique lines to a file. Pair with a prefix step when deduping a growing list.
