Hi, Peter.
The majority of the script has to do with presenting the environment so that everyone knows which versions of programs were run, and what global settings are in effect.
The important line of code is simply:
Code:
align $FILE
Of course that assumes that you have obtained the perl script align and placed it in your path. If this seems too difficult, confusing, or too much work, then ignore it and try the other suggested solutions.
First of all, I've tried to put your first script into the command line and put "\" when needed enter. However, there are some errors as shwon below.
Code:
# awk 'BEGIN{"awk '{$3=$3\" \"$4;$4=$5\" \"$6;$5=$7\" \"$8;$6=$9;\
> for (i=1;i<=NF-3;i++) if (max[i]<=length($i)) max[i]=length($i)}\
sh: Syntax error: `(' is not expected.
Could not figure out what is missing, hence unable to proceed.
Please kindly advice. Thanks
Regards,
Peter

Hi drl,
Thanks for your response.
I’ve downloaded and reviewed the align program from the website.
However, I would prefer to use a script that is easier to manage.
No offence. Thanks.

Peter

Hi bartus11,
I’ve tested your second script, but after a few trying, I’m still unable to get it working.
Please see below for its error message.
Code:
# awk -f script.awk OUTPUT2
awk: The string awk '{$3=$ cannot contain a newline character.
The source line is 12.
The error context is
BEGIN{"awk '{$3=$3\" \"$4;$4=$5\" \"$6;$5=$7\" \"$8;$6=$9; >>>
<<<
syntax error The source line is 14.
awk: The statement cannot be correctly parsed.
The source line is 14.
Executed by using:
Code:
awk -f script.awk OUTPUT2
Seems like there is syntax error in the script.
Also, how would I be able to incorporate this script into my existing script rather than having another set of script?
Appreciate for any of your help and advice.
Thanks.
PS:
FYI, I’m using HPUX B.11.23 U ia64.
Regards,
Peter

In newer distros (i.e. RHEL 3), the command will push the right column out when owners... (0 Replies)
