Dear friends,
I want to print variables' values in certain format where space between two values of variables is "a tab"
I tried where I provided "tab" between two varibales.
But when it print values on screen its giving me output without spaces in two values.
Request you to help me in guiding me.
Thanks,
Anushree.
var1="hello"
var2="world"
echo -e "$var1\t$var2"
Thank you Kevintse for the quick help.
I tried the solution its giving me desired output but it has "-e" at the starting of line.
e.g.
-e rem renn red redd
-e is not expected in output.
Please help.

Your probably using the ksh shell (not bash) so -e option isn't required, just drop it.
If no luck you can also try:
var1="hello"
var2="world"
echo "$var1\011$var2"
var1="hello"
var2="world"
/bin/echo -e "$var1\t$var2"
ilikecows, this dosn't work on AIX (or Solaris I think).
\
$ /bin/echo -e "test\ttest"
-e test test
put quotes around the values you need to print as such
echo 'My World'
Dear Friends,
Thank you all very much. all except /bin/ and 'my word' worked.
