Subject line is poorly phrased.
While working on a problem {solved by a different approach} I had:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | cut -f 10,12 -d ' ' data.txt
I would then manually edit data.txt by replacing the space character between
the two fields with a tab.
I suspect I should be able to do:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | cut -f 10,12 -d ' ' | *something* >
prettydata.txt
I searched for examples/tutorials found that it should be conceptually
possible. However the examples I found were processing streams I didn't
understand.
Hello Richard,
one way is to do it with sed:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/|cut -f 10,12 -d ' '|sed 's/ /\t/g'>prettydata.txt
