Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Combine columns from many files but keep them aligned in columns-shorter left column issue Post 302738837 by isildur1234 on Monday 3rd of December 2012 01:49:38 AM

Thank you so much. This is working and aligning the columns correctly!
If you have time, can youvery very briefly explain how it works, why your for statements manage to align the columns, especially what happens at the printf?
for (j=1;j<=m;j++) {
for (i=0;i<fc;i++) {
printf (a[i,j])? (a[i,j] "\t"):("\t\t");


awk seems to be a very powerful language for file manipulation. How did you learn it? Textbook or website?
Again, thank you so much.
