[SOLVED] Sed Pattern Match then Append to Line

Issue

I have some lines down below and I'm trying to append "Check" to the line that starts with Apples. Does someone know how I can get "Check" on the same line as Apples, not a new one and print the output? I wasn't getting anywhere on my own.

Thanks

What I have:

Grocery store bank and hardware store
Apples Bananas Milk

What I want:

Grocery store bank and hardware store
Apples Bananas Milk Check

What I tried:

sed -i '/^Apples/a Check' file

What I got:

Grocery store bank and hardware store
Apples Bananas Milk
Check

Solution

This might work for you (GNU sed):

sed '/Apples/s/$/ check/' file

If a line contains Apples append the string check. Where $ represents an anchor that is the end of the line (see here).
