Text formating issue
Hi,
I am trying to format the output of my script in a tabular format
using the html code in my shell script.

I am using html code for the first time in a shell script.I am trying to execute this script in Ksh but it is not getting executed.

Can you please help me in figuring this out.
Thanks in anticipation.

Regards
Isaac

Hi,
don't You mean to use echo and redirection (>)? The cat command expects a file name to conCATenate.

Best regards,

You are missing a dash '-' (No the dash doesnt matter, cat << EOF and cat <<-EOF are the same.).

its cat <<-EOF
...
<your stuff here>
...
EOF

sorry, I was wrong about the cat... stdin is used when no file is specified.

But, is the HTML table definition really correct? There are open <td in the code?
