Hi,

I want to use zenity --progress and also put the output to the terminal.

I tried using the tee command but that puts the output to the terminal first and then shows the zenity progress...

You are using this reg exp [^:]* only twice, which means only two tokens are considered while swapping?
Is this the reason the third token does not get affected?

Thanks for the help..

Basically what does this code do?

sed 's/^\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\)/\2:\1/'

Can you please explain?

echo $string1 $string2 | tr ' ,|' '\n\n\n' | pr -2 -t -s: | xargs

That did the trick... So I was doing something which was not required at all...

How about the other script? I am not able to...

string3 is already built.

string1="abc|def|hij"
string3="123:1|134:2|145:3"

I need this from string1 and string3
string5="123:abc:1 134:def:2 145:hij:3"

Thanks for the first script...
...

I have a new situation now:

string1="abc|def|hij"
string2="1212,2134,1245"
string3="123:1,134:2,145:3"

string4="abc:1212 def:2134 hij:1245"
string5="123:abc:1 134:def:2 145:hij:3"...

In fact my script should be like this:

#!/bin/ksh

string1="abc|def|hij"
string2="1212|2134|1245"
string3="123:1|134:2|145:3"

string4="`paste -d: <(echo $string1 | sed 's/\|/ /g' | xargs...

@ctsgnb:

This is the content of my script

#!/bin/ksh

string1="abc|def|hij"
string2="123:1|134:2|145:3"

#string3="`paste -d: <((echo $string2 | sed 's/\|/ /g' | xargs -n1) | cut -f1 -d:)...

The latest one works in the command line but not in the script.
echo "$string1 $string2" | tr ' |' '\n\n' | pr -2 -t -s: | sed 's/^\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\)/\2:\1/' | xargs
the following one works in...

I told you, it behaves in a different way.

$ echo "$string1 $string2"
abc|def|hij 123:2|124:1|125:3

$ echo "$string1 $string2" | tr ' |' '\n'
abc|def|hij
123:2|124:1|125:3

$ echo...

@ctsgnb
Dint work for me. :(
Maybe I am using sun OS?

$ echo $string1
abc|def|hij
$ echo $string2
123:1|124:2|125:3
$ echo "$string1 $string2" | tr ' |' '\n' | pr -2ts: | sed...

@ctsgnb Thanks.

Your code also worked.
I have small change in the string2 and want the output in a different way now

string1=abc|def|ghi
string2=123:2|124:1|125:3

the format is like this...

It worked fine in ksh. Thanks for the help.
But it gives wrong results for strings of different length.
Any idea to restrict it to the smaller string among the both?

Thanks.
It runs from the command line, but not from the script file.
Any idea?

I am running this script as
#!/bin/sh

Hi,

I have two strings eg:
string1=abc|def|hij
string2=12|13|14

I want a new string with
string3="abc:12 def:13 hij:14"

I am using shell scripting. Is there any method to do this?

I...

@itkamaraj
That was awesome. It works fine.
Can you tell me how to extract only the day or month from it?
Like
$date +%d

will give you only the current day.

I am using Sun OS.
Those commands dont work. It says illegal options

Hi,

I want to pipe an output to another command with an extra argument. Can anyone tell me how is it possible?

Eg:
$date +%d
will give the current date. I want to add 1 to it and give it as...
