Format find output

[IsaaKC]

I'm working on a script that does a little explanation of things once executed.

I won't trouble with everything else, that's pretty much taken care of, but the main problem is displaying the output of a find command in this manner:

This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile1
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile10
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile2
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile3
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile4
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile5
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile6
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile7
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile8
This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile9

However I've only managed to spit this out:

This is an absolute path: /data/dir1/subdir1/testfile1
testfile10
testfile2
testfile3
testfile4
testfile5
testfile6
testfile7
testfile8
testfile9

For this part of the script, I've been using this.

echo -e "This is an absolute path: \c"
find /data/dir1/subdir1/*

any idea on how to get "This an absolute path: " to appear at the beginning of every line?

Look at piping the output of the "find" command into "sed" to change the begining of the line to the desired string. This is as close as I get to doing someone's homework assignment.
