XyZ gave a good solution. You can either do the file-iteration
in Vim...something like:

vim -c 'argdo %s/\(.*\) $/ \1/|wn' file[0-9].txt

or in the shell

DOS:
for %%f in (file*.txt) do @vim -c "%s/\(.*\) $/ \1/|wn" %%f

*nix:
for f in file*.txt; do vim -c '%s/\(.*\) $/ \1/|wn' "$f"; done

Various quoting and/or escaping might need to be tweaked but that
should do the general trick.
