Table like formatting in Linux
Dear experts,

I need bit help in formatting ..

I have csv file file , i will read that file by passing one column value as input parameter and display header row and corresponding row for that parameter.

I have shell script like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#key_word_I_am_looking_for=$1
#awk -F: -v keyword="$1" '$1 == keyword {$1=$1; print}' Book1.csv
#my_variable=`cat Book1.csv | awk -F: -v keyword="$key_word_I_am_looking_for" '( $1 == keyword )' END{print "$@" }'`
#echo "$my_variable"

SERVICE=$1
head -n 1 /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv > message.out
awk '{gsub(/\,/,"       ");print;}' message.out
grep -i $1 /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv > message1.out
awk '{gsub(/\,/,"          ");print;}' message1.out

I tried to use tab for header line..used same tab as delimiter for second line but second values not aligned with first line...can some one suggest please..

Current out put as below:
Code:
SERVICE NAME       TEAM NAME       CI OWNER       SECONDARY CONTACT       PAYCHECK NAME       DEVV       ADEINT       ENV DEV       ENV STAGE       ENV PROD       ENV PROD
checkout          SARD          opalan                        Jef May              abcdef             Yes          Yes          Yes          Yes          Yes          Yes

If you want to properly format the output, then I suggest you use printf statement.
For example:
Code:
awk -F, '{printf "%13-s %10-s %9-s %18-s %14-s %5-s %7-s %8-s %10-s %9-s %9-s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11}' /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv

Note: the - sign should be behind the procent sign in the above example..
Code:
SERVICE NAME  TEAM NAME  CI OWNER  SECONDARY CONTACT  PAYCHECK NAME  DEVV  ADEINT  ENV DEV  ENV STAGE  ENV PROD  ENV PROD 
checkout      SARD       opalan    Jef May            abcdef         Yes   Yes     Yes      Yes        Yes       Yes

Or, combined with TAB's :
Code:
awk -F, '{printf "%12-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%17-s\t%13-s\t%4-s\t%6-s\t%7-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%8-s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11}' /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv

Note: the - sign should be behind the procent sign in the above example..

Code:
SERVICE NAME	TEAM NAME	CI OWNER	SECONDARY CONTACT	PAYCHECK NAME	DEVV	ADEINT	ENV DEV	ENV STAGE	ENV PROD	ENV PROD
checkout    	SARD     	opalan  	Jef May          	abcdef       	Yes 	Yes   	Yes    	Yes      	Yes     	Yes

Thanks for reply and suggestion..

but pardon me..i tried to implement it using your suggestion..but its displaying all records

changed by code as below. Is this correct ?

Code:
SERVICE=$1
head -n 1 /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv
awk -F, '{printf "%12-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%17-s\t%13-s\t%4-s\t%6-s\t%7-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%8-s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11}' /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv
grep -i $1 /opt/scripts/devv/book7-1.csv
awk -F, '{printf "%12-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%17-s\t%13-s\t%4-s\t%6-s\t%7-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%8-s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11}' /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv

sorry if understanding is silly

What do you need the SERVICE=$1 for? The SERVICE variable is not used anywhere in your code...

Try to adapt Scrutinizer's code (you were close in your commented out samples):
Code:
awk -F, -v keyword="$1" 'NR == 1 || $1 == keyword {printf "%12-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%17-s\t%13-s\t%4-s\t%6-s\t%7-s\t%9-s\t%8-s\t%8-s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11}' /opt/scripts/devv/book7.csv

Check for the correct field separator.
Please be aware that $1 in shell differs from $1 in awk.

Dear RudiC,

Thanks for followup reply.

SERVICE=$1 is input parameter that i want to pass in while executing my shell script
and data for this parameter is available in book.7 csv file
and I shall run program as below
$asp > sh test7.sh checkout -- in this checkout one of value for columna called SERVICE in of that csv file

by passing this service name i should get relevant row from that csv and display it on screen both header and its record..


and now problem is with the formatting.. I want to display it strict tabular format, but header and child record are not aligning together properly

Here is some sample data in that csv: The challenge is actual data is vary in length ..the code that i am trying working (in the sense aligning correctly and for some its not aligning correctly. In true sense the problem Column header should adjust according to rows (i.e data rows) not vice versa.. which i am trying to achieve

Code:
SERVICE NAME	TEAM NAME	CI OWNER 	SECONDARY CONTACT	PAYCHECK NAME	DEVV	ADEINT	ENV DEV	  ENV STAGE	ENV PROD	    ENV PROD
accommodation,POSE,MatDon Richardson,Chrivarian,Acc,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes
activitycodemappingtask,DLLARS,Ian,Patrick,Acc,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes
activity-entity,Rega,Chang,John,TER,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes
api-test-runner,WRIGHT,Benson,Lehman,Lev,Yes,Yes,No,No,No,No
assembly-service,Snap,Macdonald,Nikseth,Lev,Yes,Yes,Yes,No,No,Yes
authorizationprocessing,DLLARS,Ian,Pat,Acc,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes

for example ; the below service having slight larger length paycheck name hence format is disturbed. you can see COLUMN Heading SECONADARY CONTACT NOT ALIGNED, PAYCHECK VALUE not aligned properly, However in CSV file data does not have any extra spaces it looks perfect like above sample data.
Code:
SERVICE NAME	TEAM NAME	CI OWNER 	SECONDARY CONTACT	PAYCHECK NAME	DEVV	ADEINT	ENV DEV	  ENV STAGE	ENV PROD	    ENV PROD
     cmc                   MULTIPLE     Timothy sutherland     Wills Robinson                              TER or LEV depending on plugin  Yes     Yes     Yes     Yes             Yes             Yes

Try:
Code:
awk -F'\t *' '{printf "%25-s%16-s%20-s%26-s%16-s%8-s%10-s%14-s%10-s%10-s%-s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11} NR==1{FS=","}' file

Note: the - sign should be behind the procent sign in the above example..

Hi..

Thanks for reply..

now it better..but not completely

I see two problems now:

1. headers row not aligned
2. Most of data rows are aligned..i see only problem in those rows where SERVICE column data is having huge length that why its pushing other columns..the max length of this column is 40....

after position 40 the rest of the columns to be printed .. how can i force to print 2nd column onwards after 40th position
