How to generate html reports through LINUX Scripting?
Hi All, I am trying to generate a weekly HTML report using LINUX Scripting. This will have record counts of some files. (like below) Code:
touch path/filename.html echo "Weekly Summary Report for Business Date : $P_BUS_DT">path/filename.html export A1=`cat path/filename1.txt |wc -l` echo "A1 Groups : $A1">>path/filename.html export A2=`cat path/filename2 |wc -l` echo "A2 Groups : $A2">>path/filename.html etc... But, this is generating a one line report like below A1 : 100 A2:200 I want to generate it in 2 lines, A1:100 A2:200 Is there a way I can generate html file in this way ? Any help/thoughts will be helpful to resolve this issue. Thanks much Freddie Last edited by joeyg; 04-06-2012 at 12:54 PM.. Reason: Please wrap code and data in CodeTags |

Wondering about LF/CR issues
Can you: Code:
od -bc filename.html and post the result here? (Remember to wrap the output with CodeTags) |

You need to generate a complete HTML document. Check out the tutorial here: HTML Tutorial In short you need something along these lines: Code:
( printf "<html>\n<head>\n<title>doument title</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n" echo "Weekly Summary Report for Business Date : $P_BUS_DT" A1=`wc -l <path/filename1.txt ` echo "A1 Groups : $A1 <break>" A2=`wc -l <path/filename2 ` echo "A2 Groups : $A2" printf "</body>\n</html>\n" ) >path/filename.html You'll also need to read up on how to properly format your output. For instance, if the output of any of your commands contains a greaterthan symbol (>) for instance, you'll need to convert it to a proper representation so that it is not interpreted by the browser as a part of HTML syntax. If that's too much, then if you create a file with a .txt extention, most browsers render that as though it were contained in a complete HTML document with <pre> and </pre> tags around it.

IMO, before an inexperienced coder attempts to generate an HTML report from system commands, they should first create a script to generate a proper "Hello World" HTML page.
If you can create a "Hello World" HTML page, then it would be easy to then add more features, like output from a system command, etc. |

Thanks Agama & Neo for your inputs.
I will try creating a simple HTML page. In the meantime, currently I am creating this report as .rtf extension as all the lines in the output file was coming as one single line.(I have attached it for your reference). I can create this report as .txt & convert it to html through a simple (mv *.txt to *.html) command. But wondering whether there is a way to get the output in multiple lines through some simple workaround rather than going with the HTML tags etc. Thanks much Freddie |
