Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Filtering output from given input Post 302927159 by bakunin on Monday 1st of December 2014 08:51:21 AM

It might help to say which shell you are working with, which OS you are using and - first of all - what you have tried so far to get the desired result.

To me it seems the task has three things which need to be done:

1) read a line (machine name?)
2) add a colon and a consecutive letter to it. (btw.: what to do after the 26th host?)
3) print the result out without a line break (another question: what to do after reaching the maximum line length?)

Which part do you have troubles with?

I hope this helps.
