Extract columns from a file if the name dont exist put blank
Hi,

I am very new to Unix script. Suppose i have a file with column header:
NAME1 NAME2 Address Tel

And I always need to make a file with column header:
ID NAME1 NAME2 EMail Address Tel

For the columns that do not exist in the file, I would still like to make a column with blank.

How do I do this in UNix script?
