How to add a word to the beginning of each line of the source file with the default editor for Java?

I know how to do that with the vi editor:
change to command mode.
for the current line:
s/^/my word/

for lines 10 to 30:
10,30s/^/my word/

You could install this editor

http://www.viplugin.com/viplugin/

It's well worth the nominal cost to have all the power of vi at your
finger tips in every text editor.

- Ctrl+H to open Search dialog
- Navigate to File search tab
- Check regular expressions option
- Enter search pattern as "\n"
- Set scope appropriately
- Click 'Replace'
- Enter replace pattern as "\nword"

This will add the word to the beginning of each line except the first line.

replacing "^(.*)" with "word\1" works for the first line too

That's better because it works regardless of the line feed conventions
of the resource (which could be \n, \r, or \n\r)....

All the sentences become "word1".

You tried the same patterns you originally asked about? (\1 is the
capture from the left side match; maybe that's not supported)
