hello All
Do anybody know how to generat number line
that is puting the number of lines at the begining of a new line, with d bracket by the side
say
1)
2)
3)
any help would be nice
The "Similar Threads" at the bottom of this page would be a good place to start. (Too bad the forums don't display that until you have posted your question.)
I kjnow the cat -n works but puting the ) after each number line is complicated bit
cat -n "$file" | sed -e 's/^ *[1-9][0-9]*/&)/'
The regular expression matches start of line, zero or more spaces, and a nonzero positive integer, and sed replaces any match with whatever matched (& is the "magic" character which does this) and a right parenthesis.
Actually this is probably easier in awk.
awk '{ print NR ") " $0 }' "$file"
NR is the current line number and $0 is the input line.
nl -s\)\ -w1 file
any other way without the sed and awk plssss
Why? This isn't homework, is it?
nl file |
while read no line; do
echo "$no)" "$line"
done
