I was unable to create such o/p using column -t, So how can I align the o/p using shell scripting. I will using this script in both Linux and Solaris.

You should be more specific, always add quotes and exapmples in ur prob, it is easier to understand, and reply. I am doing it for you.

Hi Rakesh,
I am also a newbie. Well one solution to ur problem is :--

use this code

Code:

touch file3.txt
(for text in `cat file1.txt`;
do
echo -e -n "\b$text " >> file3.txt
done;)

Add spaces or tabs according to your need.

This will result in file3.txt

Now u can easily cat file2.txt file3.txt

Hope it helps.

Dear Friend
Try this

touch file3.txt
(for text in `cat file1.txt`;
do
echo -e -n "\b$text " >> file3.txt
printf "% 4d" ("\b$text " >> file3.txt)
done
