Thanks for the reply.
This is the whole script.
Code:
$ cat ./QuoteGrabber.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
symbol='./ESJ1C1290'
a=$(./DDECmd.exe request -s TOS -t ASK  -i $symbol)
b=$(./DDECmd.exe request -s TOS -t BID  -i $symbol)
c=$(./DDECmd.exe request -s TOS -t VOLUME  -i $symbol)
d=$(./DDECmd.exe request -s TOS -t OPEN_INT  -i $symbol)
e=$(./DDECmd.exe request -s TOS -t IMPL_VOL  -i $symbol)
f=$(./DDECmd.exe request -s TOS -t SYMBOL  -i $symbol)
echo ASK=$a
echo BID=$b
echo VOLUME=$c
echo OPEN_INT=$d
echo IMPL_VOL=$e
echo SYMBOL=$symbol
echo "--------------"
echo $a $b $c $d
echo "****************"
printf "%10s %5s %25s %s\n" $a $b $c $d
printf "BID=%10s\t ASK=%10s\t VOLUME=%10s\t IMPL_VOL=%10s\t" $a $b $c $d

this is the whole output (as you can see I have also some problems in using printf )
Code:
$  ./QuoteGrabber.sh
ASK=16,50
BID=16,00
VOLUME=99
OPEN_INT=3,440
IMPL_VOL=N/A
SYMBOL=./ESJ1C1290
--------------
 3,440
****************
 3,440                 99
BID=     IMPL_VOL=    3,440
