Regarding about the print line number/order
Hello,
I am trying to print line number/order using this command

awk '{print $0, FNR}' myfilename

Code:
11006                        A41              1888
11006                        A41              1888
11006                        A41              1888
11006                        A41              1888
...
....
...

and i got output like that

Code:
11006                        A41              1888  1
11006                        A41              1888  2
11006                        A41              1888  3
11006                        A41              1888  4
...
...
...

What i want is i want to print this line number or line sequence order at cursor position (assume at cursor position 14) like below without changing any other positiotion , i mean if A41 is at postion 30, i want A41 at position 30 after printing line number.




HTML Code:
11006         1               A41              1888
11006         2               A41              1888
11006         3               A41              1888
11006         4               A41              1888
...
...
...
That will be great if anybody can advice


Many thanks,
DAVID

Not sure about your exact requirement for the column width..However, u can try something like :

Code:
awk '{ printf("%-25s%-5s%-25s%-25s\n",$1,FNR,$2,$3); }'  filename

Hello,
I was testing some more data and found some more problem, the code is below.Assume we got 3 attribute. At second attribute, there are some data(eg.A41/A6) missing like at the fourth and six line


Code:
11006                        A41              1888
11006                        A6               2456
11006                        A43              4532
11006                                         3333
11006                        A33              5412
11006                                         8987
11006                        A34              4999

if there is no data missing, when i use the code
Code:
awk '{ printf("%-7s%-22s%-17s%-4s\n",$1,FNR,$2,$3,$4); }'  myfile

it is working perfect and printing all line number at cursor postion 9.


But if there is missing data at second or third attribute,the output data mess up like that


Code:
11006  1                     A41              1888
11006  2                     A6               2456
11006  3                     A43              4532
11006  4                     3333                 
11006  5                     A33              5412
11006  6                     8987                 
11006  7                     A34              4999

Any idea how to fix this problem?



Many thanks
