I often do this in the find & replace dialog with a regular expression. E.G.

Search for: ^(.)
Replace with: prefix\1
checked: Use regular expression
click: In Selection

or

Search for; (.}$
Replace with: \1suffix
checked: Use regular expression
click: In Selection

You can change the capture string to a target string to change a more
complex set of lines.
