I'm writing a shell script, which will take a list of files on the command line, so u run the script like
<name of script> <list of files> e.g <scriptname> <start.proc middle.bin finish.sh> The list of files is not fixed, so I need to execute this for any number of files given by the user Step 1 Using either sed or gawk/awk , I need to separate these files by white spaces Step 2 Using either sed or gawk/awk Depending on the extension of the file, I need to cd into the place where that directory is.. For Step 1, I thought a possible solution would be for a fixed size only, but is no use in my case gawk '{ printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6}' Any ideas?? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
