Script Tabstop

Hello,

I have a problem to set a tabstop of 32 in a script

Code:
set tabstop=32
#
 for VLAN in `cat /usr/admin/CSCOvmps/files/vmpscfg | grep -v "^!" | awk '{print $1}'`
 do
  TOTAL_ADDR_VMPS=`cat /usr/admin/CSCOvmps/files/vmpsaddr | grep -v "^!" | grep -ic "${VLAN}$"`
  VLAN_MAX=`cat /usr/admin/CSCOvmps/files/vmpscfg | grep -v "^!" | grep "${VLAN}        " | awk '{print $3}'`
  echo   "${VLAN}\t\t${VLAN_MAX}\t\t${TOTAL_ADDR_VMPS}"
 done

the output is

berlin 10 10
city123456789 10 10
country 10 10


I'd like to get ( _ = blank/pace)

berlin_________10____10
city123456789__10____10
country________10____10

Regards

Rolf

replace
Code:
echo   "${VLAN}\t\t${VLAN_MAX}\t\t${TOTAL_ADDR_VMPS}"

by (to be adjusted depending on the length you want for your field)
Code:
printf "%-15s%2d%6d\n" ${VLAN} ${VLAN_MAX} ${TOTAL_ADDR_VMPS}

%15s means the filed is a string on 15 character
- means it will be left justify
%2d means field is a decimal on 2 character
%6d means field is a decimal on 6 character
\n add new line otherwise it will continue on the same line
