[SOLVED] Using sed to insert text at the beginning of each line

Issue

How would one go about using sed in order to insert

rm -rf

at the start of each line of a file?

Solution

sed 's/^/rm -rf /' filename

EDIT

Xargs would be simpler way to delete all of the files listed in another file

xargs -a filename rm -rf
