Hey, I'm trying to read printf(3) and seems I need to use the * WIDTH
but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.
there needs to be 3 fields per line, the lines read in from file looks like this:
JUICE - APPLE:JUST JUICE:7
MILK - CHOCOLATE:BREAKA:7
this needs to be output backwards with specific justification.
isle number - right justified field width 5
brand name left justified field width 30
product name left justified 30
as so:
is this exactly the same as c++ if so
it should work like
printf("%*5d%30s%30s", arg3, arg2, arg1) or something like that... :P
hi, i would like to extract the header and put it in a variable, then use printf to output the variable, but i keep on getting errors...please tell me if my format is incorrect.
HDR = "`ps -e -o user,pid,ppid,pcpu,stime,etime,time,comm | head -n 1`"
printf (%s, $HDR);
thanks! (3 Replies)
Hi all,
My simple AWK code does C = A - B
If C can be a negative number, how awk printf formating handles it using string format specifier.
Thanks in advance

is assigned to the first variable var, the second field to the second variable var, and so forth. If there are more fields than there are
specified var operands, the remaining fields and their intervening separators are assigned to the last var. If there are more vars than
fields, the remaining vars are set to empty strings.
The setting of variables specified by the var operands affect the current shell execution environment.
Standard input to can be redirected from a text file.
Since affects the current shell execution environment, it is usually provided as a normal shell special (built-in) command. Thus, if it is

var The name of an existing or nonexisting shell variable.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

while read -r xx yy
do
printf "%s %s
" "$yy" "$xx"
done < input_file
