If by this you mean: 'if I have the content in a database instead of a =

file', why yes indeed.

UPDATE table SET field =3D CONCAT('prepended string',field);

However, if the order of things in the field matter (I don't know what =

data we're talking about), maybe different rows is a better solution.
