joining command results, and substitution
Hello community

I'd like to join to command results and put it to the same line in one file, how can I do that?

file: a.txt

so when I put Date '+%H:%M' and echo date '+%D' in the file appears 14:44 01/05/08 not
14:44
01/05/08

I like to know how can I make a substituion of a whole line in a file, to put an example I'd like to change the line where the first column it's like 14:44 for 14:44 02/05/08

Thanks

Code:
date '+%H:%M %D'

Ok XD

Let's suppose the commands are different, maybe one is a query to the system with the largest file on a folder and the other is the current date so the result should be:

ls | sort ... | cut .... (or tail) ...
date ...

the result could be "somefile.dat 19/01/12"

not

somefile.dat
19/01/12

Sorry for my bad explanation :_(

when I execute a command and put it in a file this is insered as a whole line.

I want to insert the result of two commands in the same line of a file.

ls | sort ... | cut .... (or tail) ... + date ...

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

(ls ; echo -n " $(date '+%H:%M %D') ) | sort ... | cut .... (or tail)
