I was just wondering how you would echo out different length variables but still have them all line up. I tried putting tabs between the variables but that didn't work as planned.
For example this is in some loop, with different variables in it each time:
echo "$1 $2 $3 $4 $5"
Appears like this:
The house is on the beach.
It is up on the hill.
Up in the clouds.
When I want it to be:
The....house..is......on.....the.....beach.
It.......is........up.....on.....the.....hill.
Up......in.......the.....clouds.
Thanks in advance.
