UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I'm quite stuck with what I thought should've been simple but I just can't seem to do it. Firstly, I have the following done in bourne shell:

Code:

cat datafile | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' >> newfile
echo "$fullfilepath" >> newfile

i want to have the output of that echo put on the same line as the output from cat datafile | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' as it puts it in newfile, but i cannot find anyway to add the echo output onto the same line, only as the next line, such as "OUTPUT FROM THE FIRST LINE-/echo/output/here" inside the newfile, so far I've only been able to put the echo data onto a separate line as shown from the code above

Code:

sed -i '$s/$/'"$fullfilepath"'/' newfile

Another way:

Code:

cat datafile | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' | while read RECORD
do
       echo "${RECORD}-${fullpath}"
done > newfile

Yet some more ways:

Code:

cat datafile | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' |sed -e 's#$#-'$fullfilepath'#' >> newfile

or

Code:

tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' <datafile |sed -e 's#$#-'$fullfilepath'#' >> newfile

or

Code:

sed -e 'y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/;s#$#-'$fullfilepath'#' datafile >> newfile

or

Code:

awk '{print toupper($n)"-" fp}' fp=$fullfilepath datafile >> newfile
