Output allignment
Hi Guys,

I hope you are doing good out there.

I am facing some issues in the alligment of the output of a shell script.

Below is the statement which is formatting the output:
Code:
echo  $File | awk -F '[ /]' '{print $13,$15="\t"$16,$4="",$5,$6,$7}'

and its output is
Code:
Domain           Log file                                           Time last updated
ICCIR2TEST16    BPOrderExecutionManagement-Gemini-BPOrderExecutionManagement-Gemini.log  Jul 14 10:59
ICCIR2TEST16    ContactChannelManagement-SVAP-ContactChannelManagement-SVAP.log  Jul 14 10:42

ICCIRSTDEV03    CustomerContactManagement-CRM6-CustomerContactManagement-CRM6.log  Jul 14 10:58
ICCIRSTDEV03    CustomerPersonalInformationManagement-CRM6-CustomerPersonalInformationManagement-CRM6.log  Jul 14 10:55
ICCIRSTDEV03    TIL_SCM_CRM6-TIL_SCM_CRM6.log  Jul 14 12:05

As you can see the last coloumn is not alligned properly. This is due to invariable string size of the files.

I tried lots of tricks but no luck.

Can you please let me know the way to properly allign the output?

Any help would be highly appereciated.

Thanks,
Chandan

use format specifiers %s with width: %30s.

I made up numbers because I don't know what your data looks like. When you need alignment always pick a width that is at least as wide or wider the field can ever be.

Code:
awk -F '[ /]' '{printf (%30s% %20s\t%30s %5s= %10s %10s %10s\n",$13,$15,$16,$4,$5,$6,$7) }'  $File
