You could run your file through a perl program that adds a first column
that auto-increments.
Something like:
$i = 0;
open(IN, analog.file)
open(OUT, new.file)
print OUT all\tfiled\tnames
while $line = <IN> {
$out = $i."\t".$line;
$i++
print OUT $out;
}
close(IN)
close(OUT)

This code will not work! However, it shows the principle.
