Echo print on same line while loop using variable
Currently using below script but echo it print the output in two line.

Input file all-vm-final-2.txt

Code:
CEALA08893 SDDC_SCUN DS_SIO_Workload_SAPUI_UAT_01 4
CEALA09546 SDDC_SCUN DS-SIO-PD5_Workload_UAT_SP1_Flash_07 4
CEALA09702 SDDC_SCUN DS-VSAN-RMP-WORKLOAD01 4
DEALA08762 SDDC_LDC DS-SIO-Workload-NonPROD-01 4

Code:
 while IFS=" ," read a b c d; do
    echo "New-HardDisk -VM  $a -CapacityGB $d -DiskType Flat -Datastore $c -StorageFormat Thin" >> script-file.txt
done < all-vm-final-2.txt

I am getting output like this

Code:
New-HardDisk -VM  CEALA08893 -CapacityGB 4
 -DiskType Flat -Datastore DS_SIO_Workload_SAPUI_UAT_01 -StorageFormat Thin
New-HardDisk -VM  CEALA09546 -CapacityGB 4
 -DiskType Flat -Datastore DS-SIO-PD5_Workload_UAT_SP1_Flash_07 -StorageFormat Thin
New-HardDisk -VM  CEALA09702 -CapacityGB 4
 -DiskType Flat -Datastore DS-VSAN-RMP-WORKLOAD01 -StorageFormat Thin
New-HardDisk -VM  DEALA08762 -CapacityGB 4
 -DiskType Flat -Datastore DS-SIO-Workload-NonPROD-01 -StorageFormat Thin

On what OS was your input file produced? Looks like MSsomething... and so I would not be surprised that "$d" contains next line char...
Try and put
Code:
-CapacityGB $d

at the end and see what happens...
So for testing new code:
Code:
 while IFS=" ," read a b c d; do
    echo "New-HardDisk -VM  $a  -DiskType Flat -Datastore $c -StorageFormat Thin -CapacityGB $d" >> script-file.txt
done < all-vm-final-2.txt

If that is the case, then pass your file through dos2unix type utility...

My 2 cents...
