Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need to create file from shell scripting Post 302162163 by KittyWu on Monday 28th of January 2008 07:34:05 AM

Hi,

the 'printf' primitive allows you to assign or display a formatted string.

It can be used this way:
#-----------------------------------------------------
typeset LP_FILE=${HOME}/tmp/test.txt

# Variables for test
typeset VAR1_VALUE='12345678'
typeset VAR2_VALUE='ABCDEF'

# Remove the target file if any
rm -f ${LP_FILE}

# Dump the data values to the file
printf "%-10s" ${VAR1_VALUE} >> ${LP_FILE}
printf "%-8s" ${VAR2_VALUE} >> ${LP_FILE}
# Add '\n' if you want a newline character: printf "%-8s\n"

# Display the results
echo "*** [BEGIN] '${LP_FILE}' file content"
cat ${LP_FILE}
echo "*** [END] '${LP_FILE}' file content"
#-----------------------------------------------------


Hope it helps,
C.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
