Formatting output using awk in ksh
![Embarrassment Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/redface.gif)
i was trying to write a script to format output of a command in ksh which has output as below:
Quote:
jobname mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss status run_number exit_code
so i used :
Quote:
command | awk '{ print ""$1" \t\t",$2" ",$3" ",$4" ",$5" ",$6}'
to get
Quote:
jobname mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss status
which i require at all times. But problem occurs when status part changes. above output i get when status is SU (success).If the status is IN (inactive), output of command is:
Quote:
jobname ----- mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss IN run_number exit_code
and if status is RU (running), output of command is
Quote:
jobname mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss ----- RU run_number exit_code
and if status is AC (activated), output of command is
Quote:
jobname ----- ----- AC run_number exit_code
the awk construct that i use is ok for SU status, i need an awk construct that gives similar output for all status. Something like :
or
Quote:
jobname mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss ----- RU
or
Quote:
jobname ----- mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss IN
or
Quote:
jobname mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss SU
i got my construct to work with th SU status alone, i wanted to have one single awk construct that handles all the status. Can someone help me in the code ?

I cannot seem to get this text file to format. Its as if the awk statement is being treated as a simple cat command.
I manned awk and it was very confusing. I viewed previous posts on this board and I got the same results as with the
the awk command statement shown here. Please help.

times(1) User Commands times(1)
NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
