Not much. I'm searching and reading the whole day but I don't know how to begin. It's difficult to me to understand the whole linux system with STDIN and STDOUT. I'm new with linux. I'm studying and the lessons and tasks we get in Scripting are not very well organised. We must write a script which reads a table like this:

Name \t Size \t Type
bla \t 4711 \t f i l e
abcde \t 4096 \t directory

and then writes a html-table. We got the structure for the html-table because we never worked with html, but it doesn't helps me a lot...it would be easier to explain the task in german...I know for example how to find and extract words from a text with 'sed' but not how I should read a table and convert it.

NAME
psfxtable - handle Unicode character tables for console fonts SYNOPSIS
psfxtable [-i infont] [-o outfont] [-it intable] [-ot outtable] [-nt] DESCRIPTION
psfxtable handles the embedded Unicode character table for .psf format console fonts. It reads a font and possibly a table and writes a font and/or a table. psfaddtable(1), psfgettable(1) and psfstriptable(1) are links to it. Each of the filenames infont, outfont, intable, and outtable may be replaced by a single dash (-), in which case standard input or standard output is used. If no -i option is given, the font is read from standard input. If no -it or -o or -ot option is given, no input table is read or no output font or output table is written. By default the output font (if any) will have a Unicode table when either the input font has one, or an explicit table (which overrides an input font table) has been provided. The option -nt causes output of a font without table. When outfont is requested it will get a psf1 header when infont has a psf1 header and intable does not have sequences and a psf2 header otherwise. SEE ALSO
