Thread: convert a column to row output?

Getting tired of cut-and-paste...so I thought I would post a question.

how do I change this column output to a Single Row?

from this:

# vgdisplay -v /dev/vgeva05 | grep dsk | awk '{print $3}'
/dev/dsk/c6t0d5
/dev/dsk/c11t0d5
/dev/dsk/c15t0d5
/dev/dsk/c18t0d5
/dev/dsk/c7t0d5
/dev/dsk/c10t0d5
/dev/dsk/c14t0d5
/dev/dsk/c19t0d5


to this:
/dev/dsk/c6t0d5 /dev/dsk/c11t0d5 /dev/dsk/c15t0d5 /dev/dsk/c18t0d5 /dev/dsk/c7t0d5 /dev/dsk/c10t0d5 /dev/dsk/c14t0d5 /dev/dsk/c19t0d5



any assistance would be appreciated

manny

found a solution

$ vgdisplay -v /dev/vgeva05 | awk '{print $3}' | awk 'END {print line} /dsk/ { line = line " " $0 }'
/dev/dsk/c6t0d5 /dev/dsk/c11t0d5 /dev/dsk/c15t0d5 /dev/dsk/c18t0d5 /dev/dsk/c7t0d5 /dev/dsk/c10t0d5 /dev/dsk/c14t0d5


enjoy,

manny

another variation:

Code:

$ vgdisplay -v /dev/vgeva05 | awk 'END {print line}  /dsk/ { line = line " " $3 }'
 /dev/dsk/c6t0d5 /dev/dsk/c11t0d5 /dev/dsk/c15t0d5 /dev/dsk/c18t0d5 /dev/dsk/c7t0d5 /dev/dsk/c10t0d5 /dev/dsk/c14t0d5 /dev/dsk/c19t0d5

have you tried

Code:

  echo $(vgdisplay -v /dev/vgeva05 | grep dsk | awk '{print $3}')

or may be just

Code:

  echo $(vgdisplay -v /dev/vgeva05 | awk '/dsk/{print $3}')

thanks for the reply frog, but I was looking to convert the column to "row" output.

solution was in previous post

Well.. If you want to convert it into row output.. This also might have worked for you..

Command HERE | xargs

Will automatically convert it into arguments.

Try out.....
echo $(vgdisplay -v|grep "PV Name"|awk -F " " '{print $3}')

This is the code i use for this purpose

Code:

sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g'
