How to paste text to end of every line Sublime 2

Question

I m curious if there is a way to paste text to the end of every line in Sublime 2  And conversely  to the beginning of every line   test line one  test line two  test line three  test line four       Say you have 100 lines of text in the editor  and you want to paste quotation marks to the beginning and end of each line    Is there an easy way to do this or a plugin that anyone would know of  This would often save me a lot of time on various projects   Thanks

Use column selection   Column selection is one of the unique features of Sublime2  it is used to give you multiple matched cursors  tutorial here    To get multiple cursors  do one of the following   Mouse    Hold down the shift  Windows Linux  or option key  Mac  while selecting a region with the mouse  Clicking middle mouse button  or scroll  will select as a column also    Keyboard    Select the desired region  Type control shift L  Windows Linux  or command shift L  Mac    You now have multiple lines selected  so you could type a quotation mark at the beginning and end of each line   It would be better to take advantage of Sublime s capabilities  and just type     When you do this  Sublime automatically quotes the selected text   Type esc to exit multiple cursor mode

Yeah Regex is cool  but there are other alternative    Select all the lines you want to prefix or suffix  Goto menu Selection -  Split into Lines  Cmd Ctrl   Shift   L    This allows you to edit multiple lines at once  Now you can add  Quotes     or anything   at start and end of each lines

Select all the lines on which you want to add prefix or suffix   But if you want to add prefix or suffix to only specific lines  you can use ctrl Left mouse button to create multiple cursors   Push Ctrl Shift L  Push Home key and add prefix  Push End key and add suffix       Note  disable wordwrap  otherwise it will not work properly if your lines are longer than sublime s width
