grep 'Dept' x.lst |awk -F"Name=" `{print $1" "$2" "$3}`

the output is coming like this


Krishna 1 2340 8383
Rohan 10 982 234

how can I align these numbers using shell script.
even i used typeset but it is useful for only zero-when-blank.

if any one knows how to do please maily me : kkodava@maxis.com.my

You can use printf instead of print which supports C style output fromatting.

ex:
grep 'Dept' x.lst |awk -F"Name=" '{printf (" %-25s %-10s %-15s \n",$1,$2, $3) }'

Why? You posted your question here. Right? So the answer also goes here. Maybe lot of other peoples benefit from it. And this gives an oppertunity to other peoples to add more info or *correct* what I have said. For a lot of us, IMHO, this is how we learn things.

Thanks
