I need a script that takes it input wither it be from a file or inputed as variables and sort that into three columns. Thanks
Please be more specific.
Explain your requirement and give the example.
I know you have to use the pr command just can't figure out how to get it to work.
Say you run the ./script varbale varable varable etc
i want them outputed into three columns
or if i do ./script filename
i want the same done
I don't know if I'm getting you fully but a possible approach:
<edit>
EDIT: Never mind, I got it all wrong. You want three columns, not a single one. 
Could you please clarify a little further?
