Hi.

Here is one solution that seems to match your attachment:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s2	Demonstrate table generation with tbl.

pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C tbl groff

FILE=${1-data1}

pl " Input file $FILE:"
cat $FILE

pl " Results:"
tbl $FILE |
groff -T ascii

exit 0

producing:
Code:
% ./s2

Hi drl. Sorry for the late reply. I m using K shell and I'm not sure about the commands you have used.

Is it possible to embed this code in the middle of my script which generates the data required for table?

I just tried
tbl $File
for the format u mentioned but didn't work.


Thanks for your help.

Hi.

The code in the earlier script was designed to process the first parameter as the file containing the tbl markup. This is more specific and uses ksh (which for this purpose is not critical):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh

# @(#) s3	Demonstrate table generation with tbl.

pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && . $C tbl groff


pl " Input file t1:"
cat t1

pl " Results:"
tbl t1 |
groff -T ascii

exit 0

producing:
Code:
% ./s3
