Hi All,

I have a got a problem ..
I have t files as below:

1.txt contains
2.sh should contain
When i execute 2.sh i should get the formatted printed output

I have tried the following codes;

awk '/column/ { print <> }' format.txt > we
where the <> is awk 'BEGIN .....
The problem with this command is I cannot get the lines above or below the search.
i.e only the lines containng "column" will be replaced and written to 2.sh

If i use sed, I cannot get the fileds from the file 1.txt
i.e; In order to get the "%1s" "%100s" from file 1.txt is not possible.

Is their any way we can overcome these two problems ?

thanks in advance
JS
