output display alignment !!
Hi
I'm trying to display the output of my script in a friendly viewable format.
it's something like this..
i have this while loop... in which i get some records from a file where fields are delimitered with a pipe. so i'm extacting each field and replacing the pipe with a \t, tab !!..
cat result.txt | while read line
do
sno=`expr $sno + 1`
echo $sno"\t" $line | cut -f 1,2,3,4 -d "|" | tr '|' ' \t '
done
The problem is I have a column header which i'm using to display at the output. but the display is going wayward.
i want it like
------------------------------------------
SNO FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3 FIELD4
------------------------------------------
1 -43242 xxxx qwer aaaa
2 1234 yyyy rrrr rrrr
3 345 er ert eer
------------------------------------------
but now i'm getting
------------------------------------------
SNO FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3 FIELD4
------------------------------------------
1 -43242 xxxx qwer aaaa
2 1234 yyyy rrrr rrrr
3 345 er ert eer
------------------------------------------
so when ever the minus/hipen sign appears in second field this problem is happening... can you tell be a better way out pleaseeeeee???
