can you take input from another command and do printf?
such as
awk '{print $2,$1}' | sort -k1,1 -k2,2 | printf "%-10s,%15s"
this does not work.. but there must be a way.. please help me..
thank you.
I guess I can do this,
echo yahoo never | while read a b; do printf "%-10s %-20s" $a $b ; done
can someone tell me if there is another way to do this?
can you use xargs wd multiple argument?
printf "%-10s,%15s\n" $( awk '{print $2,$1}' filename | sort -k1,1 -k2,2 )
ah.... nice.. thanks
