How to fill data from other file and get some output
Greetings,
I have a hard time creating a large number of user profiles in a database.
The data file looks like this :
Code:
01/01/80           Mitch             Conley
.
.
.
.

And I need to put the output into:
Code:
Name: Mitch
Surname: Conley
Birthday: 01/01/80

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

Code:
awk '{printf "Name :%s\n Surname: %s \n BirthDay: %s\n",$2,$3,$1}' file.txt

Code:
awk < infile '{print "NAME :"$2,"\n","SURNAME :" $3 ,"\n","BIRTHDAY :"$1 }'

Input file contents are as below

Code:
01/01/80 Mitch Conley
15/07/81 ANIL Kumar

Output as below
Code:
NAME :Mitch 
 SURNAME :Conley 
 BIRTHDAY :01/01/80
NAME :ANIL 
 SURNAME :Kumar 
 BIRTHDAY :15/07/81

Hope this will be okay

Great day
