PING_6 — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:57:23 GMT

Hi Experts,

I want to prcess a file on output as shown below pls help me

the output of the file is like

1 nn.abc.com Reachable
2 node_name.xyz.com Reachable
3 test_node Not Reachable

instead i want the output as

1 nn.abc.com Reachable
2 node_name.xyz.com Reachable
3 test_node Not Reachable

I have a small script which will test for node reachability where the output is found to be jumbled because of the node names

pls guide me to get this required format

Thanks

I didn't find any difference between your output file and what you want.

Hi Suraj,

I want equal spacing irespective ov the node name size.My Fields are S.No,Node Name & Status.

In this output id the nodename is short the status is printed near to that if the node name is long then the status is printed accordingly instead of this i want the output to be equally spaced like the contentes of any table.

Thanks

Hi,

Saw your attached file you will get the same output if you do what i said .

just open a file suppose p
paste this below line

awk '{ printf "%-s %-20s %s %s\n", $1,$2,$3,$4 }' data

save the file
now at the command prompt type make sure your input file data in the same folder

# sh p
you will get the output as you said
