echo not echoing correctly
Here is the file named tuwork..........
209 200 WZ 6529 SKTNCA01X4X C POI LODI LODI 738 SKTNCA0127T LOD
Here is the scipt.......
cat tuwork |
while
read rva
do
num=`echo $rva | cut -d" " -f1-2`
reg=`echo $rva | cut -c10`
ocn=`echo $rva | cut -c12-15`
x=`echo $rva | cut -c29`
xx=`echo $rva | cut -c30`
cli=`echo $rva | cut -c17-27`
tec=`echo $rva | cut -c31-33`
# rat=`echo $rva | cut -c41-49`
# rax=`echo $rva | cut -c67-41`
# lat=`echo $rva | cut -c51-53`
print "$num $reg $ocn $x $xx $cli $tec" >> tu
done
Here is the ksh -x output..........
+ read rva
+ cat tuwork
+ + cut -d -f1-2
+ print 209 200 WZ 6529 SKTNCA01X4X C POI LODI LODI 738 SKTNCA0127T LOD
num=209 200
The file is......
"209 200 WZ 6529 SKTNCA01X4X C POI LODI LODI 738 SKTNCA0127T LOD"
The output is....
209 200 WZ 6529 SKTNCA01X4X C POI LODI LODI 738 SKTNCA0127T LOD
It's chopping off the extra spaces!!!
How can I stop this? Or is there anything other than echo I can use?
Thanks in advance.
