formatting with sed 1

[RMGBELGIUM]

Hi all,

I've got following lines in a file :
hdisk1 543 543 0 00..00..00..00..543
hdisk2 543 500 43 00..00..00..00..543

and I would like to get them in this format, using sed ( or awk )
hdisk1 543 543 000 000..000..000..000..543
hdisk2 543 500 043 000..000..000..000..543

Does anyone see a way of getting that kind of output?

thx in advance

greetingz,

In the awk man page take a look at the printf function.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Try this awk script

{
n=split ($5,a,/\.\./)
printf("%s %03d %03d %03d ",$1,$2,$3,$4)
printf("%03d",a[1])
for (j=2;j<=n;j++)
printf("..%03d",a[j])
print ""
}
