Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi there,

I get a list of data set by means a script with many echo command that looks like this:

Code:

CASE                      1
A=                           4
B=                           4

CASE                      2
A=                           3
B=                           5

Is it possible to get a sort of table like this:

CASE --------------1------------ 2
A= -------------------4 ----------- 3
B= -------------------4 -------------5

by modifying the script???

Thanks in advance,

GB

If we can see the script, maybe. Maybe have a look into the printf command.

It's something like this:

for((k=1;k<5; k++));
do
echo CASE $k >> NOTES.txt;
echo A$k=5 >> NOTES.txt;
echo B$k=6 >> NOTES.txt;
done

Use printf instead of echo. You can use fixed width for columns and stuff like left-bound or right-bound with it etc.
