printf command in ksh
Hi,
I am very confused with my printf command. Somehow one variable can't line up with others... newstart2 ="Mon Nov 11 01 00:00:00 2002" printf "%-20s" $newstart2 Here is the output: Mon Nov 11 01 00:00:00 2002 It spread out to two lines.. Why? |

Code:
#!/bin/ksh newstart2="Mon Nov 11 01 00:00:00 2002" printf "%-30s\n" "$newstart2" $newstart2 without the quotes becomes a list of separate arguments for printf because a space is what printf wants to see between arguments. |
