Something wrong in the tabling script?
What am i missing.
So it looks like you're getting all of your output (although the sample in your assignment showed two lines of headings and your output only shows one). It looks like your code to convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit is working correctly. So, what problem do you have left besides centering your output values under the appropriate headings? (You do realize that since the output values you've calculated vary from one to four characters, you will need to vary the number of spaces or tabs printed in front of the calculated values to center them, don't you?) I assume that you don't have access to the tabs utility yet, so you're probably better off just using spaces in your output rather than tabs. (And even if you do have access to the tabs utility, I wouldn't recommend using it for something like this.)
Do you know how to get bash to tell you how many characters are stored in a variable? Do you know what output column is at the center of each of your headings? With these two pieces of information, can you calculate how many leading spaces or tabs you need to print before the Centigrade value? (I'm not asking if you can do these calculations using bash; I'm asking if you understand the arithmetic required to determine how to center the strings you'll be printing.)
Do you know how to do integer arithmetic operations inside bash (without invoking bc or expr) yet? If not, it isn't a big deal, you have shown that you can use bc to perform any calculations you need to perform; it is just easier to use the bash built-in arithmetic evaluation tools. Do you know how to use a for loop in bash? Do you know how to use echo to output some characters without a trailing newline?
PS When posting code and sample input and output, please don't do anything special with the fonts. Using arial (a variable width font) instead of the default constant width font will make it almost impossible to get things lined up here.
Hi,
I have two files , one file with data file with attributes that need to be sent to another file to generate a predefined format.

I have files named with different prefixes. From each I want to extract the first line containing a specific string, and then print that line along with the prefix.
I've tried to do this with a while loop, but instead of printing the prefix I print the first line of the file twice.

expand, unexpand - expand tabs to spaces, and vice versa
SYNOPSIS
tablist] [file ...]
tablist] [file ...]
Obsolescent:
tabstop] tabn] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
processes the named files or the standard input and writes to the standard output with tabs changed into spaces. Backspace characters are
preserved in the output, and the column count is decreased by one column for tab calculations. For proper tab calculation, if a multi-col-
umn character is to be "backspace'd", it should be followed by multiple backspace characters which equal to it's column width. If a tab
character is found after the last tab position, it is replaced by a single space. is useful for preprocessing character files that contain
tabs (before sorting, looking at specific columns, etc).
recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:
tablist specifies where to set the tab positions instead of the default tablist can take two forms. If it is a single num-
ber, tabs are set tablist spaces apart. tablist can also be a blank- or comma-separated list of increasing positions
where tabs are to be set.
This option is obsolescent and is equivalent to using
This option is obsolescent and is equivalent to using
processes the named files or the standard input and writes to the standard output with spaces changed into tabs where possible. By
default, only leading spaces and tabs are converted to maximal strings of tabs. The default tab position is every 8 characters. Backspace
characters are preserved into the output, and the column count is decreased by one column for tab calculations. For proper tab calcula-
tion, if a multi-column character is to be "backspace'd", it should be followed by multiple backspace characters which equal to it's column
width.
recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:
Tabs are inserted whenever they would compress the resultant file
by replacing two or more spaces before a tab position.
tablist specifies the tab positions. tablist can take two forms. If it is a single number, tabs are set every tablist spa-
ces apart. If tablist is a blank- or comma-separated list of increasing positions, tabs are set at those locations.
The option implies the option. If the option is not specified, the default is equivalent to specifying except that
is not implied for this case.

If or is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default for each unspecified or empty

If is set to a non-empty string value, it overrides the values of all the other internationalization variables.
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported with the exception that do not recognize multi-byte alternative space characters.
