I want to convert it into HTML and got this code.

Code:
  {print "<tr>"
    for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
        print "<td>" $i"</td>"
    print "</tr>"

My problem is the numeric columns shows left justified. I want all the columns to be right justified.

thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

This is currently in AIX, using ksh shell.

The easiest is to add CSS style once
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<tittle>"Title Here"</title>
<style>
td { text-align:right; }
</style>
</head>

or to add at each td
Code:
"<td align=\"right\">"$i"</td>";

Thanks.. i stand corrected.

Here's what i want...

String values should be left justified.
Numeric values should be right justified.

It's working, but the "String" values are also now right justified instead of Left justified.

Code:
awk -F"|" '
    BEGIN{
        tda="<td align=\"right\">"
        tdo="<td>"
        tdc="</td>"
        
    }
    {
        print "<tr>"
        for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
            print (($i == $i+0) ? tda : tdo) $i tdc
        print "</tr>"
    }
