In the awk man page pay attention to the printf function.

Hope This Helps, PH.

ha ha ha ha } I guess the question (from the title: how to print to get formatted columns) is to put this data into nice columns..

well, awk is your friend, asumming these data is in the file kernel.txt:
[tt}
awk '{ printf("%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6) }' kernel.txt
[/tt]

or replace spaces with tab using [tt]sed[/tt]? (I am not so good with sed)

 

[Chacalinc]

sed 's/ /\t/' kernel.txt


??

 

[Chacalinc]

hmmm...
[tt]
awk '{ printf("%s\t\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t[red]\n[/red]",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6) }' kernel.txt
[/tt]

 

[Chacalinc]

this is nice:
[tt]
awk '{ printf("%[red]-20s[/red]\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6) }' kernel.txt
[/tt]

Or, if you have the [tt]column[/tt] program, just pipe the file to [tt]column[/tt].

e.g.

$ head -n2 /etc/passwd |column -t -s:
[COLOR=red]root  x  0  0  root  /root  /bin/bash
bin   x  1  1  bin   /bin   /sbin/nologin[/color]

Just give a space to the [tt]-s[/tt] option instead of a colon.
