A big hello to everyone tagged to this site of knowledge . This is the first post of mine and I am looking forward to an enjoyable stint in this forum where I get to know a lot of new ideas and share whatever knowledge (its not much though ) I have acquired throughout my career so far with y'all.
To start of , I am , in a sort of stuck in a strange situation. The requirement is to format a string to a precision , which is will be dynamic .
Lets say the string's 976461 , and we have to format it to a precision of 10 , and LEFT PAD it with zero's. So the output would be 0000976461 .
What I did is to store the precision in a Shell variable (say a ) using the following code :
Code:
a=10
and the string in another Shell variable b using :
Code:
b=976461
and use the printf command to format the string to the precision stored in variable a , and finally write the output to variable c using
Code:
c=` printf "%0'$a'd" $b`
Now , when I echo the value of c, it showing 000976,461.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks
Kumarjit.
