printing variabels in columes(like a left tap position.)

[Larshg]

Hi

I want to print a number of variabels at a specifik place on a line.

ex.
a=100
b=30
c=20

a shoule start at byte position 0
b should start at byte position 10
c should start at byte position 20

output
100 30 20

ex2.
a=1000
b=30000
c=200000

the same rules

output
1000 30000 2000000

Thanks

Lars

THe problem whit this is that if $b is empty, I still want $c to be printet at position 20

ex.
a=100
b=30
c=20
output
100 30 20

a=100
b=
c=20
output
100 20

Use quotes

printf "%-10s%-10s%-10s\n" "$a" "$b" "$c"

Try something like this:[/code]
printf "%-10s%-10s%-10s\n" "$a" "$b" "$c"[/code]
