Thanks I am looking more into the awk command

---------- Post updated at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:55 PM ----------

Code:
 
 awk -v OFS="\t" '
BEGIN   {print "Owner name   file size    time of last Modification   directory"
        }
        {print $3, $5, $6 " " $7 " " $8, $9
        }
'

Is it possible to add more space between the results
Code:
{print $3, $5, $6 " " $7 " " $8, $9
        }

Hi.

Assuming that your file is TSV (Tab-Separated-Values), looking like this on file z6:
Code:
$ cat -A z6
Owner name^Ifile size^Itime of last Modification^Idirectory$
root^I2048^ISep 18 11:11^Iafile.exe$

Then you could use utility align, like so, output separated by TABs:
Code:
$ align -st z6
Owner name	file size	time of last Modification	directory
root		2048		Sep 18 11:11			afile.exe

For more control over spacing, use a gutter change with blanks to separate:
Code:
$ align -st -js -g3 z6
Owner name   file size	 time of last Modification   directory
root	     2048	 Sep 18 11:11		     afile.exe

Here are some details for align:
Code:
align   Align columns of text. (what)
Path    : ~/p/stm/common/scripts/align
Version : 1.7.0
Length  : 270 lines
Type    : Perl script, ASCII text executable
Shebang : #!/usr/bin/perl
Help    : probably available with --help
Home    : http://kinzler.com/me/align/ (doc)
Modules : (for perl codes)
 Getopt::Std    1.10

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

If your awk allows for it, try -v OFS="\t\t" so it separates fields with two <TAB>s.

Instead of
Code:
\t

is there something for a space?

Try
Code:
.
.
.
        {printf "%-13s%-13s%-28s%-20s\n", $3, $5, $6 " " $7 " " $8, $9
        }
'
Owner name   file size    time of last Modification   directory
root         2048         Sep 18 11:11                afile.exe
