Dear RudiC,

Thanks for followup reply.

SERVICE=$1 is input parameter that i want to pass in while executing my shell script
and data for this parameter is available in book.7 csv file
and I shall run program as below
$asp > sh test7.sh checkout -- in this checkout one of value for columna called SERVICE in of that csv file

by passing this service name i should get relevant row from that csv and display it on screen both header and its record..


and now problem is with the formatting.. I want to display it strict tabular format, but header and child record are not aligning together properly

Here is some sample data in that csv: The challenge is actual data is vary in length ..the code that i am trying working (in the sense aligning correctly and for some its not aligning correctly. In true sense the problem Column header should adjust according to rows (i.e data rows) not vice versa.. which i am trying to achieve

Code:

SERVICE NAME	TEAM NAME	CI OWNER 	SECONDARY CONTACT	PAYCHECK NAME	DEVV	ADEINT	ENV DEV	  ENV STAGE	ENV PROD	    ENV PROD
accommodation,POSE,MatDon Richardson,Chrivarian,Acc,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes
activitycodemappingtask,DLLARS,Ian,Patrick,Acc,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes
activity-entity,Rega,Chang,John,TER,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes
api-test-runner,WRIGHT,Benson,Lehman,Lev,Yes,Yes,No,No,No,No
assembly-service,Snap,Macdonald,Nikseth,Lev,Yes,Yes,Yes,No,No,Yes
authorizationprocessing,DLLARS,Ian,Pat,Acc,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes

for example ; the below service having slight larger length paycheck name hence format is disturbed. you can see COLUMN Heading SECONADARY CONTACT NOT ALIGNED, PAYCHECK VALUE not aligned properly, However in CSV file data does not have any extra spaces it looks perfect like above sample data.

Code:

SERVICE NAME	TEAM NAME	CI OWNER 	SECONDARY CONTACT	PAYCHECK NAME	DEVV	ADEINT	ENV DEV	  ENV STAGE	ENV PROD	    ENV PROD
