Hi.

A Google search for openindiana source "newform" produced about 60K hits. From one of those I found the source for the code and man page. It compiled first time with gcc. Here's a sample run:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1	Demonstrate basic reformatting of text file: newform.

# See: Google search for [openindiana source "newform"]

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C newform ruler

FILE=${1-data1}

pl " Display usage:"
newform -Q

pl " Input data file $FILE, raw:"
cat $FILE

pl " Input data file $FILE, display invisibles:"
cat -A $FILE

pl " Results, raw (with column markers):"
ruler 78
newform -s -i -l -a -e $FILE

pl " Results, display invisibles:"
ruler 78
newform -s -i -l -a -e $FILE |
cat -A

exit 0
