Having troubles printing fields to output

[jping45]

Hi,

I have output from a command and I want the output from one column printed out to one line, ex.
output from: <command> | awk '{print $3}'

123
456
789

I want it to be, with some formatting stuff:
123 456 789

Any suggestions???

Regards

Jake

Use printf, something like

awk '{printf $3 &quot; &quot;}'

Hope this helps.

Hi Cakiwi,
here's the part of the script that I'm having the most trouble with:
for disk in $(lslv -l $phy | sed -e '/N/d' -e'/PV/d' -e'/\//d' | awk '{print $1}') ; do

lspv ${disk} | sed -n '/PPs/p' | awk '{ printf(&quot;%-20s%-20s\n&quot;, &quot;TOTAL PPs&quot;, &quot;FREE PPs\n&quot; $3 &quot;&quot }' >> ${LOGFILE}

Here's the output that I get:

TOTAL PPs FREE PPs
542
TOTAL PPs FREE PPs
18
TOTAL PPs FREE PPs


Here's what I'd like:

TOTAL PPs FREE PPs
542 18

Any suggestions...

Regards

If I understand correctly, this might do it.

BEGIN{print &quot;TOTAL PPs FREE PPs&quot;}
{printf $3; if (!(NR%2)) print &quot;&quot;}

If not, post some sample input to awk i.e. the output from lspv ..|sed .. |

CaKiwi,
Here's the output from the command:
lspv hdisk0 | sed -n '/PPs/p' | sed -e'/USED/d'

TOTAL PPs: 542 (8672 megabytes)
FREE PPs: 274 (4384 megabytes)

Here's what I'd like it to be:

TOTAL PPs FREE PPs
542 274

Any suggestions??

I think substituting your awk program with this will do it.

BEGIN{print &quot;TOTAL PPs FREE PPs&quot;}
{printf(&quot;%-10s&quot;, $3); if (!(NR%2)) print &quot;&quot;}

or maybe

BEGIN{print &quot;TOTAL PPs FREE PPs&quot;}
{printf(&quot;%-10s&quot;, $3)}END{print &quot;&quot;}

Hope this helps. CaKiwi
