Formatting the output
Hi all,

Have the following code(1) producing the results(2 & 3).
Would like to know if there is a way to format the two reports created in a similar fashion.
IE - The first is formatted nicely as a result of the echo "$xmpbdate $xavgs" >> $xmpbrpt
However when I attempt to do the same on the second report, I don't get the desired formatted result.

The Create_Report Function:
Code:
function Create_Report {

  ## Set Std Report File Name.
  xmpbrpt=$xrptdir$2
  ##
  ## Create Header.
  echo "SYSTEM: "`hostname`" (EVEREST-AU)" > $xmpbrpt
  echo "MPSAR(-b) Report (Daily Averages) - "$3", "`echo $2 | cut -c4-7`"."\
        >> $xmpbrpt
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------" >> $xmpbrpt
  echo "- Fields: Date, bread/s, lread/s, %rcache, bwrit/s," >> $xmpbrpt
  echo "-         lwrit/s, %wcache, pread/s, pwrit/s" >> $xmpbrpt
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------" >> $xmpbrpt
  for xmpbfile in $1$2/mpb??
    do
      #-- Get Date of SAR report -----------------------------#
      xmpbmm=`awk '/SCO_SV/' $xmpbfile | cut -c33-34`
      xmpbdd=`awk '/SCO_SV/' $xmpbfile | cut -c36-37`
      xmpbyy=`awk '/SCO_SV/' $xmpbfile | cut -c39-42`
      xmpbdate="$xmpbdd/$xmpbmm/$xmpbyy"
      #-- Get Average Values For The Day ---------------------#
      xavgs=`awk '/Average/' $xmpbfile | sed s/Average//`
      #-- Write details to report ----------------------------#
      echo $xmpbdate $xavgs >> $xmpbrpt
    done  ## End-of (for xmpbfile in $1$2/mpb??)
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------" \
        >> $xmpbrpt
  echo "End-of-Report." >> $xmpbrpt
  echo  >> $xmpbrpt
  #-- Secure Report to operator:group --------------------#
  chown operator:group $xmpbrpt
  chmod 644 $xmpbrpt
  #-- Send Email of Std Report ---------------------------#
  SendEmail $xmpbrpt $4 $3 `echo $2 | cut -c4-7`

  ## Set Detail Report File Name.
  xmpbrpt2=$xrptdir$2.detail
  echo "SYSTEM: "`hostname`" (EVEREST-AU)" > $xmpbrpt2
  echo "MPSAR(-b) Report (Detail) - "$3", "`echo $2 | cut -c4-7`"."\
        >> $xmpbrpt2
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------" >> $xmpbrpt2
  echo "- Fields: Date, time, bread/s, lread/s, %rcache, bwrit/s," >> $xmpbrpt2
  echo "-         lwrit/s, %wcache, pread/s, pwrit/s" >> $xmpbrpt2
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------" >> $xmpbrpt2
  for xmpbfile in $1$2/mpb??
    do
      #-- Get Date of SAR report -----------------------------#
      xmpbmm=`awk '/SCO_SV/' $xmpbfile | cut -c33-34`
      xmpbdd=`awk '/SCO_SV/' $xmpbfile | cut -c36-37`
      xmpbyy=`awk '/SCO_SV/' $xmpbfile | cut -c39-42`
      xmpbdate="$xmpbdd/$xmpbmm/$xmpbyy"
      #-- Get Detail Values for each Day ---------------------#
      #-- Write details to report ----------------------------#
      grep ":" $xmpbfile | grep -v "/" > $xmpbfile.temp
      while read xdetail; do
        echo "$xmpbdate $xdetail" >> $xmpbrpt2
      done < $xmpbfile.temp
      rm $xmpbfile.temp
    done  ## End-of (for xmpbfile in $1$2/mpb??)
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------" >> $xmpbrpt2
  echo "End-of-Report." >> $xmpbrpt
  #-- Secure Report to operator:group --------------------#
  chown operator:group $xmpbrpt2
  chmod 644 $xmpbrpt2

}  ## End-of-function Create_Report

Assuming that you are reading from a file, or whatever, ensure that the input format of your file is as expected. Maybe put some debug statements as well.

Best Wishes!

Nah, never thought of ever doing that .... re-read the script.

After the grep, the format of the File has a similar structure of the first report, with the exception of a time stamp for each record between the date(1st field) and second field.
Code:
      grep ":" $xmpbfile | grep -v "/" > $xmpbfile.temp
      while read xdetail; do
        echo "$xmpbdate $xdetail" >> $xmpbrpt2
      done < $xmpbfile.temp
      rm $xmpbfile.temp

I'm suspecting that the read is the cause, but know not how to overcome this.

What shell are you using? I notice that you rm $xmpbfile.temp immediately after using it. Have you tried commenting that out so you can look at the file? Have you tried an "echo $xdetail" immediately after the read so you can see id xdetail is screwed up at that point?

If you are using ksh and the file really does look good, and xdetail is bad after the read, I would have to say that ksh has a bug. If the read statement is acting up, a
IFS=""
before the loop with the read may fix it.

Perderabo,
Firstly thanks for the responce.

I'm using `bash` as the running shell, we do have `ksh` but we happen to write most of our scripts in `bash` so `ksh` doesn't ever get much of a look in.

I have done some debugging (whilst not shown); performing a `cat` on the .temp file immediately after the `grep` statements and the output is formatted correctly. But after the read, the record being read is shrunk and similar to the second output example.

I hadn't mentioned it before, but the input file is the result of a `mpsar -b`(SCO Unix) - just to provide some indication of what I'm playing with. (I create a daily file every night)

I'll try the IFS="" and see if that makes any difference.

BTW - Is there any advantages in using `ksh` over `bash`?

Perderabo,
The IFS="" did the trick and the output is exactly how it was originally intended.
Thanks again.

I'm glad you got your problem solved, but it still liiks like bash has a bug. I tried a few experiments with bash and I can't get the read to behave like that. I've seen bash fail before on complex scripts. This is a partial answer to your question: "Is there any advantages in using `ksh` over `bash`?" Also bash does not support coroutines nor does it support self-formating variables.

Bash's lack of formating nailed you in this thread. You must find that bash offers something in compensation since you haven't switched to ksh. So, why do you like bash?
