How to add code to every program in every directory.

I have a computer on a multiplayer server with hundreds of programs on there and only just realised I want to attach two lines like this on the end of my programs:

print("Coded by so-and-so.")
print("Do not redistribute without permission from so-and-so.")

But I have SOOOO many programs and I don't want to go in to the editor and write all of that at the end of every program. Some programs are thousands of lines long.

TL;DR:
So, how do I make a program that adds code to the bottom of every program?

Just do it… That's what I would do…

Oops. How do I delete this?

I'll become an old man before I get that done. :/

Do you have access to the world save? Or is it on a server that you don't host?

I do not have access to the world save so I can't use an external editor.

Now, please answer my question: How do I make a program that adds code to the bottom of every program automatically.

The FS api is what you're looking for: http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=Fs.open
Example:

local m = {"first line of code here", "second line of code here"}
file = fs.open("programname", "a")
file.writeLine(m[1])
file.writeLine(m[2])
file.close()

I haven't tested it, but it should work.

Thank you. I'll combine this with the format code that goes around on this forum to make it so it finds every program and adds code to it.
