Mine is ksh ... it is not working
If typeset does not work, one thing you could try (adjusting syntax if needed for ksh) is:
Code:
if [ -z "var" ]; then
echo 00000000000
else
typeset -RZ${length} value
echo $value

So I created two shell variables: COLUMN1_HEADING, COLUMN2_HEADING.
They have values:
COLUMN1_HEADING="John"
COLUMN2_HEADING="123456789"
How would I use printf to get it to print an output like this: $COLUMN1_HEADING\t$COLUMN2_HEADING\nJohn\t123456789\n
Thanks! (3 Replies)
