I want to take a file that is generated in 132 columns from a unix based report generator and transfer it to a windows environment and preserve the column length. Any ideas how I can do this so that whatever windows based text editor that reads the document will know it should be in 132 columns?... (16 Replies)
Hi
This question has kind of been asked before but I couldn't get any of the solutions to work.
I need to format fields being cut from a file into columns so it looks like a table.
e.g
Full name Address Hiredate

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a table of aggregated data using just bash commands. My data is in three columns, for example:

dirfile2ascii
dirfile2ascii(1) GETDATA dirfile2ascii(1)NAME
dirfile2ascii -- output dirfile database vectors as ASCII text
SYNOPSIS
dirfile2ascii [ OPTION ]... DIRFILE
[ [ -a | -A | -e | -E | -F | -g | -G | -o | -i | -u | -x | -X ] FIELD ]...
DESCRIPTION
Fetches data from a dirfile(5) database specified by DIRFILE and writes it as ASCII to standard output. Any number of vector FIELDs may be
specified. Each specified field is printed in a separate column.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-d, --delimeter=delim
separate columns by delim. (Default: a single space.)
-f, --first-frame=first_frame-last_frame
read from frame first_frame to frame last_frame (inclusive).
-f, --first-frame=first_frame:nframes
equivalent to --first-frame=first_frame --num-frames=nframes.
-f, --first-frame=first_frame
If first_frame >= 0, start reading at frame first_frame. If first_frame is -1 and --num-frames=nframes is specified, read the last
nframes frames. If --first-frame is not specified, reading starts at frame zero.
-n, --num-frames=nframes
read at most nframes frames. If not specified, or if nframes = 0, all frames to the end-of-field are read.
-p, --precision=format
use format to format output. format may contain any of the flag characters, a field width, and/or a precision as specified in
printf(3). It may not contain a length modifier.
-q, --quiet
don't write diagnostic messages on standard error. (This is the default behaviour).
-s, --skip=frame_skip
if frame_skip > 0, output only one sample for every frame_skip frames.
-v, --verbose
write diagnostic messages on standard error.
-z, --fill=STRING
Fill columns which go past the end of their corresponding field with the string STRING. The default behaviour is to fill columns
with floating-point conversions with NaN and columns with integer conversion with 0, which mirrors what occurs when an attempt is
made to print data from before the start of a field. (Note: the default behaviour cannot be reproduced with this option, since
STRING is applied to all columns, regardless of conversion type.)
In addition to the above, each FIELD argument may be preceded by a short option, one of: -a, -A, -e, -E, -F, -g, -G, -i, -o, -u, -x, -X,
indicating the conversion to be used. See printf(3) for the meaning of these conversion specifiers. The output flags, width, and preci-
sion may be specified by using --precision. If no conversion specifier is given, %f is used.
For conversion specifiers %a, %A, %e, %E, %f, %F, %g, %G, data is read from the dirfile as double precision floats. For conversion speci-
fier %i, data is read as 64-bit signed integers. For conversion specifiers %o, %u, %x, %X, data is read as 64-bit unsigned integers.
LIMITATIONS
No native support for printing complex data is provided. This may be worked around by using dirfile(5) representation suffixes. For exam-
ple, the command
$ dirfile2ascii DIRFILE FIELD.r FIELD.i
will print the real and imaginary parts of the complex valued field FIELD in the first and second columns, respectively.
