Somehow I was looking for similar kind of stuff.
Can anyone assist me how to skip any headers for that text file while adding any special character in-between the columns ???
Thanks a lot.
I think I'm somehow messing around my requirement
let me put it in some other way
I have a script which will prompt user for entering the values and then
each values will be written in another file with fixed starting positions.
let say
Code:
it prompt for user name : AAA
and then dept. Name: Programming IT Dept
and sal:2000E
Code:
1st columnlength 50 and second columnlength is 75 and 3rd one is 10
So in my o/p txt
AAA<47 - length of AAA of spaces>Programming IT Dept<75 -length of dept of spaces>2000E<10-length of sal of spaces>next line
xyxzmna<47 - length of name of spaces> etc..
I mean I have fixed length of column and eeach parameter should be fitted in that length . it's for proper alignment.
I posted in this post as there could be some link to my requirement and existing one.

Hijacking a thread of one of your counterparts is not very nice...even if there are similitudes in the demand...
You are to be owner of your own thread, nothing stopping you to add a links to the almost similar question, its ours to then explain the differences...
This is your new thread since I moved out the posts... I let you change the title
But what exactly I was looking for is a dynamic one which will substact the length of column specified to the length of character and fill the unwanted one with the spaces and do the same for all the parameters anf go on. Anyway It's look like much complicated . I will do the one which I already had and you suggested.
In this way you need to count the string postions but above way , you don't have to worry specify the length of each columns and then enter the values and script will automatically populate according to the position and reformat your columns in a nice way.
Hello!
I am able to do this in bash, using:
echo -ne HELLO > file.txt
and then, 'HELLO' is written into file.txt without the newline character to be added in the end of the file.
How is this possible to be done using sh instead of bash?
If I try something similar is SH, then inside... (3 Replies)
