I used the following to remove /n
ls -ltr /home/rameshch/bhanu/*.xls | awk '{print $9}' |cut -d'/' -f5 | tr -d'\n'
it is erroring out. Can any one please help?
For what it's worth, I think the error in this attempt was simply that tr -d'\n' needs a space after the d.
Code:
(my ls -ltr only gives 8 columns so im using awk '{print $8}' )
# ls -ltr *.xls | awk '{print $8}' |cut -d'/' -f5 | tr -d'\n'
tr: invalid option -- '\'
Try `tr --help' for more information.
# ls -ltr *.xls | awk '{print $8}' |cut -d'/' -f5 | tr -d '\n'
test3.xlstest2.xlstest1.xls#
With the space, it doesn't error, but it shows that you'd need to use tr '\n' ' ' to replace newlines with a space instead of just deleting newlines. Of course "echo *.xls" is much more elegant, but I think your only trouble was that one little space.
