Everybody,
can you tell me how express about this; we have text data file as :
parameter1 Parameter2
AA 55
BB 77
. .
. .
. .
We want to draw table for this data as attached then send as body of Email
$
$ cat -n f5
1 Parameter1 Parameter2
2 AA 55
3 BB 77
$
$ cat -n f5.pl
1 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
2 open(IN, "f5") or die "Can't open f5: $!";
3 printf("%s\n","-"x31);
4 while(<IN>) {
5 chomp;
6 ($t1,$t2) = split;
7 if ($. == 1) {
8 $fmt = "| %10s | %10s |\n".("-"x31)."\n";
9 } else {
10 $fmt = "| %10s | %10d |\n".("-"x31)."\n";
11 $sum += $t2;
12 }
13 printf($fmt,$t1,$t2);
14 }
15 printf("| Total = %3d |\n",$sum);
16 printf("%s\n","-"x31);
17 close(IN) or die "Can't close f5: $!";
18
$
$ perl f5.pl
-------------------------------
| Parameter1 | Parameter2 |
-------------------------------
| AA | 55 |
-------------------------------
| BB | 77 |
-------------------------------
| Total = 132 |

Thx all, but if in case the Parameter1 and Parameter2 not include in this text file, how we insert it in the table when we build it using AWK.
E.g.:
echo "Parameter1 Parameter2" | cat - infile |
awk 'BEGIN {printf ".TS\nallbox;\nc c\nc c.\n" ; OFS="\t"}
{t+=$2 ; print $1,$2}
END {print "Total",t;print ".TE"}' |
groff -t -T ascii 2>&-
-or-
awk 'BEGIN {printf ".TS\nallbox;\nc c\nc c.\n" ; OFS="\t"}
{t+=$2 ; print $1,$2}
END {print "Total",t;print ".TE"}' <( echo "Parameter1 Parameter2" | cat - infile ) |
groff -t -T ascii 2>&-
